Author Sam Cooper and host Dan Murphy, editor of NCG Top 100s course rankings, almost bring each other to tears with a nostalgia-fuelled discussion about honesty boxes. They somehow sum up 9-holers like Silecroft, on the Cumbrian coast, where the golf is simple and gets you back to the elemental contest between man and ball. And while you are playing the course, be sure to take a moment to enjoy the 360˚ views of ocean and Black Combe, on the edge of the Lake District.
