It is also good to see that Het Woold switched their tee markers from colours to numbers (picture is an illustration from another course). I'm a great fan of numbers on tees, and I believe genderless tees should be part of the present and the future.

In 2025 I will go for 2 weeks to Holland 🇳🇱. This could be on the schedule : Region Utrecht 🇳🇱 De Pan (photo) 🇳🇱 Goyer 🇳🇱 Hoge Kleij 🇳🇱 Laage Vuursche 🇳🇱 Hilversumsche Region West 🇳🇱 Royal The Hague 🇳🇱 Noordwijkse 🇳🇱 Kennemer 🇳🇱 Dirkshorn 🇳🇱 Texelse

The par 4 15th at Le Golf National Albatros in Paris, France 🇫🇷, when I was there exactly 15 years ago. Venue for the Olympic Golf Tournament. Back then I payed 40 EUR (50% reduction with a Golf-O-Max coupon). It costs a bit more now.

Pickala in Finland already has 3 18 holes courses, I think this 9 holes course is going to be a great addition. Lassi Pekka Tilander design.

Ahead of the Olympic tournament Scottie Scheffler went practicing at Les Bordes, a private club South of Paris, with 2 exceptional 18 holes courses.

A number of years the rules changed, and you can leave the flag in on the green. What I now see EVERYBODY always do, is take the flag out. HCP 36 or 54, 8 shot to reach the green, you name it, they take the flag out just as if they are professional. #slowplay #whileweareyoung

The par 4 15th at Hösel Golf Club North Course in Germany. For me the second surprise in 🇩🇪 this year (other was Seddiner See), with a club that I didn't know at all, until I found it on Leading Courses Map function.

Today at Gut Lärchenhof in Germany, always one of the best maintained courses in the country. No prizes for guessing the designer's only design in 🇩🇪. #CBA

The par 5 7th at Gut Lärchenhof in 🇩🇪.

Congratulations to Jose Luis Ballester from Spain 🇪🇸 winning the US Amateur 🇺🇸 at Hazeltine. Another great player with the CBA headcover in the bag. #CBA

I've decided to support Nikki Hofstede from Holland with a donation. Nikki is currently playing LETAS, and is trying to get a full card for LET. Playing LETAS is very expensive, and any (financial) help is welcome.

The par 4 3rd hole at Kasaido Golf in Düsseldorf, Germany. I lost a ball on this tee shot, while I thought a hit a perfect shot. Maybe that's why they have it as stroke index 1.

The par 4 10th hole at Sunningdale Old, venue this week for the Curtis Cup.

Next week I'm staying at De Bloemenbeek in Holland. Two courses scheduled : 🇳🇱 Rijk Van Sybrook 🇳🇱 Twentsche (photo)

Thracian Cliffs, a Gary Player design in Bulgary 🇧🇬. It is on my list to play in 2025, which should at that time be my 83rd visit to a course in the top 100 of Continental Europe.

The Heritage Club in Mauritius 🇲🇺 has 2 18 holes courses. I have never been there since about 2007. Maybe in 2025 ?

Today is #thankagreenkeeperday. Greenkeepers do great work to keep the courses in good condition. The best maintenance for me ever ? It's Black Diamond Ranch Quarry, a Tom Fazio design in Lecanto, Florida 🇺🇸📸. What's yours ?

6 years ago, not at all forgotten. My tribute to Celia Barquin Arozamena (CBA) on LinkedIn : linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

The par 4 14th at Twentsche GC in Holland 🇳🇱, playing towards the clubhouse. This club opened in 1926. I was able to complete a round there last Sunday in 3 hours.
