Golf by the Sea The golf ball loss on this course must be considerable. Just walking around the edge we were finding balls all over the place in streams and rock pools. That's not counting the ones that have sunk in a bog or are rolling around on the sea bed.
This is the northernmost point of Whalsay, with the Inner Holm of Skaw beyond.

Small Stream at Pundsi Geo Another water hazard for the golfers on Whalsay Golf Course, this rivulet drains a small pond right out on the headland. It's a tiny catchment, can't be more than a few hundred square metres, but it's flowing nicely.
