Sandy was in Portugal last time out, on the par-five sixth hole of the RTJ II-designed Atlântico course at Penha Longa outside Lisbon.

A number of eagle-eyed readers figured it out, but congratulations to Christopher Mack Fisher, who was first out of the hat – the shirt is on the way.

It's back to his favourite habitat, the links, for Sandy in this issue. Golf has been played over this land for the best part of 200 years, though the club that now controls it celebrated its 150th birthday quite recently.

As ever, if you know the hole, and you’d like one of our sought-after GCA golf shirts, email your entry to, gopher@golfcoursearchitecture.net.
