Hirsel Warning
A fierce warning as you approach the 7th green at the Hirsel along a public footpath which crosses the golf course. The golfers are friendly enough it is their balls which bear watching. But apart from straightening your hat and making a quick dash to the comparative safety of the trees there is very little in the way of sensible precautions you can take. Unless the standard of golf has greatly improved since I was a member the safest place may well be the middle of the green.
