Looks like a Swedish Felt!

Yep, that's definitely a Swedish Felt. I wonder how many holes it's going to be.
Will someone from the BMGA be in touch with them when it opens?
Perhaps a possible venue for the London Open or LIT?

I have fond memories of Swedish Felt from the 2003 World Championships - but this is probably going to be the shorter 'B-type' course. (I don't think my course record of 34 for this type of course will last long, once Hither Green is open. )

My 'best' score on Swedish Felt is a 'perfect' 18. Although it was here http://hamandeggerfiles.blogspot.com/20 ... court.html and I still lost against Emily

It's open - http://hayleydunlop.blogspot.com/2010/0 ... pdate.html

Looks like type A to me! The "boxes" looks pretty difficult, if you don't make it to the green with your first shot. The lane next to the boxes is a design I have never seen before. Not too much space between the lanes though, might get dangerous if the course is nicely frequented. But the lanes look good!

Will talk to them when I visit.

It looks more b-run in this pic.

Richard, you wanna bet? A nice pint at next rendez-vous? Those greens look pretty A-type to me. Or the hole is really small...

7pence is my highest stake.

On 'reflection' (pun intended) it does look A-type. I can't get the perspective right with the ghost photographer in the way!

Hope to solve this matter once and for all by Monday at the latest! Want to have a bet on what my score will be?

As a 'form guide' my previous (and only) A-Type Swedish Felt score was 51(+15) in the Rotten Shark Classic (The unofficial British Swedish Felt Run Championships) in Tampere in 2008 - http://www.miniaturegolfer.com/Nations_cup_2008.html - twas good enough for 3rd place Brit (4th overall) in the comp

i'm keen to try this out.
Any chance of the BMGA thinking about a comp if the owner was keen?

Well, that's not enough even in Wetherspoons...

I trust more in your playing skills than in your "eye" regarding what size the course is, so I expect a sub-40! Just don't get caught between the boxes!

I'll try and make contact this weekend. According to my contacts in Hither Green the course owners haven't done any advertising yet.
