As the afternoon winter sun stretched gently over Borrowdale Brooke, I arrived at the prestigious golf club with a mix of excitement and curiosity. My first stop was the golf shop nestled near the entrance. Inside the corridors, the walls proudly displayed plaques of record-breakers dating back to the early 2000s, a testament to the
