Having the pleasure to play with the Captain, Mr. Kevin Thomas, and the weather being bright and sunny; one could sense that it was going to be a nice sociable round of golf.

It is not an easy course to play; and not long, playing 6101 yards off the white tees, and 5789 off the yellows, but you have to think your way round as there are some blind holes.

It seemed today was going to be another day when the putts were not going to drop, dropping shots on the front nine, being 11 over, meant it was all to do coming back. Although, birdying the 11^th did give me some solace, albeit briefly, which was soon dispelled with only one par all day. This I put down too pulling a muscle the day before which did hamper my game a little.

It’s a course you have to play and know to get a good score. However, there are some great scenic views when you are on the 16^th tee overlooking Pontadawe and the valleys beyond.
