Yorkshire & Lincolnshire tour - October 2013

Back in October last year my wife was 4 months pregnant and in need of a break from the daily stresses of work. In addition to this my mother-in-law had been talking about the wish to get away for a week somewhere sunny. While I was also in desperate need of a weeks rest, I agreed with Mrs W that she should go and get some sun with her mum and I'll go and play some golf. While not really our usual arrangement it would be a good break for the both us - although not great being apart for a week.

I was also eager to knock off a couple of courses off my list and knew there were a few in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire which were not normally in an area where I would have any need to visit.

After adding a couple of courses I decided to go all out and do five courses in five days plus a social game on day 6. Initially a mate was willing to do it with me but work commitments held him back. However I was perfectly happy have some good thinking time to myself.

I had booked up some cheap hotels and planned all my journeys so that generally they were done after my round of golf so not to arrive jaded at the first tee and risk ruining my experience.

Here was my itinerary for the week;

Sunday - Moortown golf club, Leeds
Monday - Woodhall Spa, Hotchkin course
Tuesday - Ganton Golf Club, Scarborough
Wednesday - Lindrick golf club, Worksop
Thursday - Notts golf club (Hollinwell), Mansfield
Friday - Social game with friends at Staverton Golf Club, Daventry
