29 ROYAL PORTHCAWL - WALES - Back (Sponsored by BARCELO - COSTA BALLENA) In the early part of 1891 a group of Cardiff business men, involved in shipping and coal exporting, and all keen golfing enthusiasts decided to form a golf club at Porthcawl. The following April the members were granted the right to cut holes for a nine hole golf course on Lock's Common. The rest of that year was spent clearing the common of a dense, tangled covering of gorse and bracken, and in February 1892 Charles Gibson, the Westward Ho.! professional, was invited to Porthcawl where he stayed and laid out the nine hole course. In 1895 it was decided to move to the present location and extend the course adding nine more holes on land forming part of the Manor of Skier. About three years later the original nine holes on the Common were abandoned and the present eighteen established. King Edward VII bestowed the honour of Royal status on the club in 1909 and in 1932, The Prince of Wales (afterward the Duke of Windsor) visited the club with some of his friends who were members. One of the many interesting objects d'art in the Club House is the full length picture of the Prince. Royal Porthcawl was described as being one of the twelve finest courses in the world by the late Tom Scott, a leading writer on golf and former editor of Golf Illustrated. Since his day the club has acquired a large practice area and further improvements have been made to the course, developments which keep Royal Porthcawl firmly among the world's top golf courses. The status of the course is sustained by the many prestigious professional and amateur events held at the club over the years.

If there are a league of idiosyncratic clubs then the Golf House Club would be in with the best of them. The name for a start, gives you a taste for what is to come. A number of clubs have salvaged masts from former sailing ships, from which they hang their flag, but here they have gone for something nautically different - 30ft of periscope from HMS Excalibur. Its presence by the first tee is to ensure the way is clear down the first, as there is a blind tee shot over a hill some 50 yards from the tee. The thought of a blind tee shot off the first tee would to many be unthinkable, not here; in fact this is the first of many blind shots round a course that has no par 5s and only 2 par 3s. It might be relatively short at 6273 yards but make no mistake, this is a true test of golf and a very enjoyable one at that.

Lindrick is an excellent test for golfers of all standards - the greens are firm and fast, the course is open throughout the year and in winter playing conditions are particularly good. Temporary greens are rare and the fine fairways make preferred lies unnecessary other than in the wettest years. The golf course is unusual in that it finishes with par 3, rated by some as one of the best finishing holes in golf. Sited in Magnesia limestone heath land providing excellent drainage, the course will normally be closed only because of snow or frost.

45 STOVER GOLF CLUB - Back (Sponsored by LA CALA GOLF RESORT) (The Ladies Open Charity Golf day) Although the present Golf Club dates from 1931 the origins can be traced back to 1894 when Major Harold St Maur created a 9- hole course on his own estate, which was interwoven with the Stover pheasant shoot. The present trolley shed was the pheasant-rearing shed! In 1931 work commenced on constructing a James Braid designed golf course at the present location. Situated very close to the A38 Plymouth Expressway and 3 miles north of Newton Abbot, Stover Golf Club is one of the most popular courses in South Devon. Visitors are most welcome and will appreciate the setting, warm welcome and friendly atmosphere of the Club.
