+1 skill from me. Not often i laugh out loud when reading the forum, but Andreas YOU JUST ACHEIVED A LOUD ONE!!Andreas Rex said:They're turning the whole of Stafford into a huge crazy golf course...Stafford Castle is the first obstacle...pop it into the battlements and it rolls out down the hill towards town, then you have to chip into Broadeye Windmill...if you get it well-timed it drops down just in time to thwack it to Plumbits where it visits all their current stock (takes frickin ages..imagine Mousetrap..)...not sure what happens then cos i'm shit and I lose..
As I've been involved in this project for the last few years it's a shame that people are so blinkered, it's things like that that have held it up for so long. We had to have about 6 newt surveys!pop80_uk said:Hey
Thanks for replies.
But the golf course is the other side of the castle, it would have to be an awfully long road.
They are doing work on the field opposite the traffic lights on the exit from Western Downs onto the Newport Road.
Is the old golf course being retired and a new one built?
Is the castle going to be slap bang in the middle of the course?
So a lovely walk makes way for the rich middle classes dressed stupidly, whacking a small ball around with twigs, stunning.
Oh well at least its not houses.
It isn't really any closer to the castle than it is now. Now I can hit the ball a long way, but to get it in the grounds is impossible!pop80_uk said:Also how will they stop golf balls flying into the grounds of the castle?
Personally I cannot stand golf but when reading this thread I took exactly the same point of view as you, golf courses are invariably kept imaculate and reasonably natural, and are without doubt the preferred choice to houses. Can't see what all of the fuss is about golfers is either, each to their own. As long as that what you're happy spending your time/money on then who loses?Edd209 said:i have no doubt everybody likes the area up there for walks etc, and obviously golf isnt everybodies cup of tea but come on a major investmant in the town keeping the area green and looking after the local wildlife? i think its a big bonus.
