In the last issue, Sandy made a trip to Royal West Norfolk, or Brancaster, which is situated between the sea and a salt marsh that floods at high tide – making the course inaccessible when the water rises above a certain level.

John Crawford, a member of Glasgow Golf Club, was the first correct entry out of the hat and wins a GCA golf shirt.

This month, Sandy’s destination is a course that nearly failed several times, but was saved by social media popularity and is now a major success; the hole at which he appears is one of the most dramatic Redans you will see.

For a chance to win a coveted GCA golf shirts, please send your entry to gopher@golfcoursearchitecture.net.
