Loved this afternoon having a go at chip carving and kolrosing. We were lucky to have good weather and things were set up to be as socially distanced as possible. There were times when we had to choose between crowding and leaning in in order to see fine detail or staying apart but I can't think of a way to avoid that given the nature of the course. More time would have been good but it was really enjoyable and informative, thanks.
