There are quite a few ‘Pitch and Put’ courses scattered around the UK Lincs.
They don’t occupy enough land for a full size golf course but they still play 18 holes.
They don’t have a ‘Par’ it’s just one longish shot onto the green (Pitch) and then just a couple of puts (Put)…or in my case, several puts, into the hole. I think you are supposed to reach the green in one shot, hence the less space required.
We often play at Keswick (Crow Park) but my favourite is in Guernsey…on Sausmarez Manor Pitch and Putt course. We only played 9 holes here.
This was the score sheet …Rob wins…

Air pollution directly linked to increased dementia risk
Long-term exposure accelerates the development of Lewy body dementia and Parkinson’s disease with dementia in people who are predisposed to the conditions.
An analysis of 56 million people has shown that exposure to air pollution increases the risk of developing a particular form of dementia, the third most common type after Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia.
The study, published in Science on 4 September1, suggests that there is a clear link between long-term exposure to PM2.5 — airborne particles that are smaller than 2.5 micrometres in diameter — and the development of dementia in people with Lewy body dementia or Parkinson’s disease.
The study found that PM2.5 exposure does not necessarily induce Lewy body dementia, but “accelerates the development,” in people who are already genetically predisposed to it, says Hui Chen, a clinician–neuroscientist at the University of Technology Sydney in Australia.
