Holiday Golf in Devon

We went on a family holiday to Dawlish in Devon this week to make the most of the outstanding summer weather we have been experiencing this year. The clubs were left at home as there would be no golf on our holiday.
Dawlish has a market on wednesday which Clare wanted to see so she sent me off to the Warren Golf links to see if I could hire some clubs.
After my short walk to the clubhouse I discovered that there was a set (Wilson X30 or something) for hire and after passing my readdies to the very friendly and helpful pro I was on my way with a big grin. What a fantastic little treasure the Warren turned out to be! It's fairways were paying the price of a long, dry and warm (serious! No Sarcasm!) summer and were a bit sandy in places but the greens were fantastic! I imagine the Warren would be a great place for matchplay as there are many risk verses rewarrd choices to be made all over the course.
Enough words from me. Mark Crossfield did a links golf special from the Warren links course the week before I was there (it was 7 days drier for me) so I have popped the 3 vids here for your perusal and enjoyment.
I played OK and discovered that my bad shots are the same with Blades as they are with game-improvement irons.
