Some notes about the photograph

  • North is towards the top of the photograph.
  • It is not known when the photograph was taken.
  • The Corhampton/Bishop's Waltham road has been widened.
  • The junction with the Winchester road has been staggered.  There used to be a lot of  accidents at the junction.
  • Alternate tees have been put in.
  • The 18th tee used to be the 9th in 1946.  It is now near where the practice hut is.
  • The cricket pavillion is between the 2nd green and the 3rd tee. Half of it was used for housing the machinery.
  • The first club house was acquired by Mr Newbury and was erected by the members.
  • A large gap was made in the yew hedge for the 12th hole.
  • The cricket wicket was no longer in use.
  • The copse to the East of  the first fairway has disappeared. 
  • The bridle path across the middle of the course has been moved to the Southern boundary of the course.
