The Celtic Manor 2010 Course - oh hell yeah

[Rolf Harris]

Way too early to start up the Ryder Cup fever but not too early to talk about the course itself.

I played it a few weeks back and it goes straight in at No.1 as the best UK course I've played (admittedly not the most extensive list).

The back nice especially has some of the most wondefully designed risk and reward holes, which is clearly why it's being billed as the consumate matchplay course. If they use a little imagination with the tee box choices on the par 4's it's going to make for a hell of a spectacle, especially for the fourballs.

I've played the Brabazon (Belfry) which (in my opinion) has one if not two of the finest holes in world golf, but the 2010 course has at least 6 that equal if not better them.

I can't wait until October 1st.

Good going. And no, it's never too early to have one's appetite whetted.


Speaking of which ..... would it be single malt in that thar' flask o' yorn?

That's awesome that you were able to play. And yeah like Chas said, it's never too early to talk about the Ryder Cup.
