	Golf TI - The Old Course at Bovey Castle
		Immediately plunging to the valley floor, the first hole plays sharply downhill and the approach is with a short iron to a green that is open on the right side and protected left by bunkers.
		The seemingly gentle start does afford the golfer the chance the make an opening par, but the river that runs along the left side of the hole, before slicing in front of the green some forty yards shy of the putting surface, must be avoided.
		The approach, however, is another demanding test, which begs the golfer to hit a long club over the river valley to a green where the safest miss is long.
