The Shire London - Seve's Sanctuary
Wednesday, 11 September 2024 I played in my third annual Brentford Golf Classic, held at The Shire London course. The only UK golf course designed by the legendary Seve Ballesteros is such a magical place. I didn't play particularly well, shooting a 23 over score of 95 strokes, without a single par or better on the back nine. Eeek. Although it warrants stating that The Shire is by no means an easy golf course! The back nine on the Shire championship course is devilishly difficult culminating in the signature 18th where you have to navigate the Seve 'S' with your approach shot trying to avoid water all around. This year we were paired with one of the Brentford FC marketing execs, and we had some wonderful weather along the way so I can't complain at all. We ended up down the rankings in the team competition but had a fantastic time out on the course and at the post round BBQ. Brentford FC does put on a superb partners event every year.
