Pure Golf In The Rain - Sherwood Forest Golf Club

I'm back in England and had the good fortune to play a classic Colt/Braid golf course, Sherwood Forest, the other day. Despite the fact that we lost, the golf course was a delight, even in the pouring rain.

It's pedigree is without reproach - originally laid out by Harry Colt in 1912, it was "tweaked" by James Braid in the 1920's. In recent years, the committee has done a great job in removing all those pesky trees that robbed the greens of light and the members of the wonderful view from the clubhouse. If you are looking for a real hidden gem in the "midlands" of England then call the club and book a tee time. Like most private clubs in the UK they will be happy to take your money. Fair warning, the gorgeous purple heather will swallow up your golf ball - when you find it, take your wedge out and get the ball back in play or you could be there some time.
