| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Royal Cinque Ports in Deal, United Kingdom (UK). States that "Deal is a classic links. Although the land on which the course sits is not huge, dramatic dunes, the hums and hollows left by centuries of erosion make for old fashioned golf of the highest order." Mentions renovations at the course, stating that architect Martin Ebert's "plans include some minor lengthening to the golf course...New tees on the sea wall will add between 20 and 30 yards to the seventh and ninth holes." Explains that "a few alterations to various bunkers will tighten the course in places, while the continuing improvements in conditioning, in the true links sytle, mean that the hazards can act to gather shots, and thus punch above their apparent weight." Concludes that "the club has aspirations to host events such as the Walker Cup or the Amateur Championship - and the return of this magnificent course to its true status among the best known and respected courses in the UK cannot come too soon." |
