REGARDING the articles in the BEN about Bolton's Regent's Park golf course, nobody has more experience of Regent's Park than me. I played there 50 years ago, when it was very well kept, greens and course, and had a helpful professional.

Since that time, the council has received many thousands of pounds and done very little to improve the course or the facilities. This should be run as a business and some of the money they receive in green fees should be ploughed back to improve everything and make all welcome. This is how the other 'pay and play' course are getting golfers to return each week.

Come on Bolton Council, I know you can do it.
