Wonderful Woburn
An exciting week lies ahead for the Ricoh Women's British Open to be held on the stunning Marquess course at Woburn Golf & Country Club one of three gems the facility has to offer. The Marquess is a contrasting course in comparison to the Dukes and Duchess with approach shots requiring pin point accuracy both in distance control and placement. It will be a real treat to see the best in the world tame the tree lined beauty of Woburn, the question will be answered some Sunday evening "Can Charley win her first Major on home soil?"
I personally have many fond memories of the Woburn Country Club which stems back to one of my first Professional events held on the extremely narrow Duchess course in the early to mid 1990's. This is a real test of course management with well directed tee shots the order of play, for those who remember "Woody Woodpecker" the sound echoes across the fairways on a regular basis with very narrow tempting gaps which you may think a 1.68" golf ball should fit through!!!
