Distance in miles/yards (but use meters for some things like cm for shorter), Celsius for temp, liters for volume. The course wasn't that long and it does criss cross all over the place. Although short, you gotta hit shots. I hit 5 iron off No. 3 to the bend. Go through and you're in the gorse bushes. Short and no way you get it over the trees. Left and you're in the woods. Wasn't overly difficult, if you keep the ball in play. I did trolley. I'm done carrying bags. Bought a Bagboy before I left the states. Nine guys form the office. We played a best ball. First time I'd played in four months with all the transition stuff. Was quite pleased with my new Cleveland Hi-bore 9.5, tour model with high kick pt and stiff shaft. KILLED a few balls (I won't mention the ones that got away!). Rest of the clubs were borrowed. Mine get here Wed.!!!! This place is kind of screwy in use of metric.

How was it - it looked like a lot of the holes criss cross back and forth. Did you put your bag on a trolley and walk? Did you play foursomes?
