Golf

Last Christmas I played at the Celtic Manor Golf Resort and enjoyed it that much my friends and I decided to go again this Christmas. At the Manor there was ice on the course but that didn’t stop us having a great couple of days playing the Montgomery Course and The Roman Road Course. Below is a photo of the Twenty Ten Course, which is where the Ryder cup was played back in 2010.

As the sky was clear, I was able to take some amazing photos of the course and surrounding areas.

 

This year we played at the Vale Resort near Cardiff. The weather didn’t look hopeful as rain was scheduled all week but on one of the days, we managed to get a clear day which allowed us to have a great time on the course, albeit a little wet under foot.

On the second day unfortunately the weather prevented us from playing, although it did give us a chance to look around the resort and have one or two beers in the club house and enjoy some of the lovely food.
