Top 5 Par 3s – Battle of the Island Greens
Those of us who love the game of golf would probably find an excuse to play just about anywhere but there are certain courses around the world that get our golfing juices flowing more than others. Whether it is Turnberry in Scotland, Pebble Beach in the USA or Sunningdale in England there are a select few courses that really get us going. What makes these courses so much more desirable than others? Is it the sense of history attached to many of them? Is it the location? The overall layout? While these are all important factors, quite often it comes down to a single hole that will live long in the memory. Not many holes can capture the imagination quite like an island green par 3 so we have selected five of the best from around the world…you can decide which one you want to play on your next golf break!

A look back at the 2011 Golf Season
Despite the absence of the man who has defined golf over the last decade and a half, 2011 was a barnstorming year of golf. We were treated to some of the finest displays by the top guys on tour throughout the year as well as an unprecedented number of breakthrough wins. Despite infinite highs during the season the golfing world also experienced a terrible loss, following the tragic passing of the legendary Seve Ballesteros.
One could argue that Tiger’s absence made the game more exciting as rookies one left, right and centre and the battle for the world number one spot raged on right through the year with not just two, but four or five guys scrapping it out to reach the summit of the golfing world.

As golf fans look forward to 2012 where we will hopefully see a resurgent Tiger take on the ‘new breed’ for the first time, we take a look back at the good, the bad and the ugly from 2011. Read more
