You think of Prince’s and you think of Gene Sarazen. for it was Sarazen who won the Championship in 1932 on the one occasion it was held at Prince’s.  Situated ‘next door’  to Royal St George’s on the Kent coast at Sandwich, Prince’s has the kind of geography and terrain that made it an ideal site for war time manoeuvres; but, happily for golfers, in 1950 the links was restored to its former glory – although not as an 18 hole Championship course, rather as a layout comprising 27 holes, the present day three loops of nine. With windswept plateaued greens, rippling fairways and tangling rough, each of the nines at Prince’s (the Himalayas, Shore and Dunes) presents a daunting test of traditional links golf.
