点评:I recently returned to play Chartridge having been away from the club for over a decade due to relocating.
This is the club where I learnt the game, so it will always have a special place in my heart. Nonetheless, it was wonderful to see how the course has matured. The trees lining the fairways make it more of a challenge from the tee, however the canopies have been raised on many of the firs surrounding the greens, which not only opens things up and allows more light through, but means the errant shot isn’t punished quite as harshly.
The greens were always the jewel in the crown here, and nothing has changed. If anything, I’d say they’re as pure as I’ve ever seen them, no doubt thanks to an irrigation upgrade.
An additional benefit of this club is the setting overlooking the Pednor Valley. It’s serene, peaceful and beautiful. If it weren’t for the frustrations of the game, you’d truly feel like you were in paradise.
To top it off, it was great to receive such a warm welcome back from Eric and his team. Plenty of familiar faces in the clubhouse too, which is always a good sign of a happy club.
I won’t leave it so long before my next visit!
翻译:最近,我重返查特里奇高尔夫俱乐部,此前因搬家,我已经十多年没来这里打球了。
这里是我学习高尔夫的地方,所以它在我心中永远占据着特殊的位置。尽管如此,看到球场如今的成熟度,我还是感到非常欣喜。球道两旁的树木让发球台更具挑战性,但果岭周围许多冷杉的树冠都被抬高了,这不仅让视野更加开阔,光线也更加充足,而且也减轻了失误击球的惩罚。
果岭一直是这里的瑰宝,如今依然如此。如果非要说有什么变化,那就是它们比我见过的任何时候都更加完美,这无疑要归功于灌溉系统的升级。
这家俱乐部的另一个优势是它俯瞰着佩德诺山谷的优美景色。这里宁静祥和,风景如画。如果不是因为高尔夫运动带来的挫败感,你真的会感觉置身于天堂之中。
更棒的是,埃里克和他的团队热情地欢迎我回来。俱乐部里也有很多熟悉的面孔,这总是俱乐部氛围融洽的好兆头。
下次我一定不会隔这么久才来!
