The Annseley Course at the Royal County Down (PBUI) is no pushover-it used to be c alled the Hen Run ( more of a comment about the distaff players rather than the quality of the course. With a brisk North East wind, as to day, the driving is a challenge-the images are of the views from the 7th and 14th tees (click to enlarge for best effect) Off line you have a choice of gorse-of which there is a lot, or thick heather mixed with long grass. I have a photo essay on the course in my flickr and an exclusive view of the ball hunting Alsastian who seemed to be out to day without his minder, Stalker (http://www.flickr.com/photos/oldgreywolf/?saved=1 )

The last image is of A Donnay 4 -a cousin of the infamous Donnay 5 -see a previous post. It looked nice and new when I found it in the middle of the first faiway but the large crack explained why it had been thrown away. I offered it to the ball finding Alsatian but it turned away with a look of disgust. It has high standards, that animal.  ¶ 12:01 PM
