\"Moly<\/a>

Me\u00a0at the 1st Tee at Caird Park “9 holer”<\/p><\/div>\n

This was the first course I ever played, so this round was pretty nostalgic; the biggest difference\u00a0compared with\u00a040 or so years ago when I first started was\u00a0then I\u00a0only had a 4 wood, 7 iron and putter – club selection was a lot easier then!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a very basic layout, with trees being the main, and often only,\u00a0hazard;\u00a0 other than local kids stealing lost balls – beware, sometimes lost balls may be\u00a0“found” before they stop rolling!\u00a0 Although, this practice has stopped now that I have grown up.<\/p>\n

Joking aside, this is an ideal course to learn the game, or to practice iron play in particular, as the greens are small and hitting more than\u00a06 in regulation would be an outstanding result.\u00a0 It has 2 long par 3s (the 2nd and 5th) which are the most difficult holes, with the 9th being a picturesque finishing par 3, over a small valley, back to the small starters hut.<\/p>\n

All towns and cities\u00a0should have a facility like this 9 hole course.\u00a0 It’s accessible and great fun, and at only. Moly at the 1st Tee at Caird Park “9 holer”<\/p>\n
