Hi all! Greetings from Chennai , India. I'm a 24 year old weekend golfer, carrying an 8 handicap. This site seems to be interesting.

Cheers!

Welcome,slartibartfast... looks like you sit almost on the coast, are your courses built near the ocean?

Welcome,slartibartfast... looks like you sit almost on the coast, are your courses built near the ocean?

There are 4 golf courses over here. Two 18 hole courses and two 9 hole courses. One of the nine hole courses, called Island Grounds, sits next to the Marina Beach. It's a links course, so there's a lot of wind, sometimes touching 30-40 miles per hour. It plays like a typical British links course. Very challenging and unfriendly for a short-hitter.

The other three namely Cosmopolitan-TNGF Club, Madras Race Club and the Army Golf Course are inland but still get a fair amount of wind although not as much as the Island Grounds course.
