Tim Lobb and Andrew Goosen were invited to play at Huntercombe Golf Club today by Robert Clive and Mel Thomas of 360 Golf.  A foursome format was adopted and the boys at 360 Golf had an easy win of 4 & 3 over the lowely TPL teaming.

Huntercombe Golf Club, in Oxfordshire, is a Willie Park Jnr layout with full of charm and quirk. Green complexes are highly interesting with very few bunkers found on the course.

The following photos from our Blackberry phone may help to explain this charm.

Huntercombe Golf Club – a true gem of a course and a great education on interesting and charming landform.

Go and play it if you get a chance.
