Our last Gopher Watch proved more difficult than we expected – perhaps due to the recent removal of the sleepers from the famous bunker on the fourth at Royal St George’s. Congratulations to Lynne Marwood, who was first out of the hat.

A bit of a departure for this issue, as Sandy has been in lockdown and only made it as far as the local country park. He’s identified a great spot for a short par three to a raised green in front of a royal residence. For a chance to win a GCA golf shirt, tell us which queen was born there? Email your answer to gopher@golfcoursearchitecture.net.

Need a clue? This queen’s reign was rather short.
