So today South Lakeland Parks hosted an inter-park golf competition. Windermere golf club has to be one of the most beautiful golf courses in the country. The view of the Langdales even on a hazy and humid day like today is worth the green fee!

As well as the beautiful scenery there was wildlife – I’ve never been closer to a cock pheasant than this one.

Of course it may just have been getting close enough to laugh at my golf.
Mind you – you are reading a post from this year’s Limefitt Park champion golfer
Limefitt Park Trophy
Now if you don’t tell anyone that I was the ONLY golfer from Limefitt Park, I won’t either.
I had a good first 9 but messed up big style on the back 9. The overall winner was John Smith from Fallbarrow. I thought he looked a bit like Jack Niklaus and I don’t think John Smith was a very good pseudonym.
To be fair, 41 points was a very respectable score and today I couldn’t get near that, so well done John. Your trophy was far better deserved than mine 
Now for those of you who have a taste for trivia – what distinguishes Windermere Golf Club from most other courses?
It has no bunkers!
(To be honest it doesn’t need them – the rough and the bits of sticky out rock are challenging enough without them!)
The Lake District is just simply a great place to do anything, even a game as modern as golf. Although I prefer to go on a biking trip or walk when I stay in Keswick, I do play golf at Windermere when I have the time. Bottom line, Lake District rocks!
