Sixth Place – Wickham Park Golf Club
Now ten-years old and maturing extremely well, the Wickham Park Golf course length is 5,868 yards, featuring two par 5s. The signature 2nd hole is 404 yards with a dog leg to the left creating an interesting second approach shot to the green, which many players tend to underestimate at their peril.

Why I played: Regardless of how anyone feels about the rights and wrongs of recent conflicts, the sacrifice and bravery of our serving forces is unquestionable and truly amazing. Just to be able to show some small measure of support is a privilege. |
