Build it, and they will come - dressed as sporting heroes and half cut from the start, of course.

The grand unveiling of RNGC this summer brought together a group of likeminded people on what is being branded the toughest short course in the world.

Dan Davies' ferocious backyard golf course was pounded out of Devon soil over lockdown, a lifelong dream coming to fruition at a property he doesn't
even own.

Dan's masochistic tendencies are there for all to see in the Curly Wurly layout, with swampy bund as rough, wonky bounces as standard, and greens that look like 50 pence pieces from the tee. It's enough to make Seve blush.

Because this is not about being fair. This is about fun.

RNGC reduces golf to its essence, doing away with all the baggage that's padded out the game.

The committees, the dress codes, the etiquette. That stuff has its place, but it's certainly not here.
