Thanks for returning us all to sanity Joakim. :) But, one last query, surely the Royal and Ancient must be pretty much on sand dunes?

All part of the natural succession we teach in ecology: yellow dunes; grey dunes; perennials; shrubs; with climax golf course. And yes Lesley, there was a lovely patch of dwarf rush by that wee bridge that was wiped out before the last Open. Thank goodness for the 'rough'.

Giles,

What is the second Cyp in your Racoon posting?  Interesting form to it.... thought perhaps if i studied the rest of the postings here I'd recognise it anyway.

Anthony,

Well I hadn't thought of it in those terms..... but now that you mention it!! ;D

I know I've seen pics of that before, but I guess I had never noted the distinct shape of it before.  So many wonderful Cyps!!  :o
