When you go into the Whaddon Golf club you can see the bar to get a drink. You can also see golf balls scattered over the field.

I can smell the smoke when there is a bonfire going on. I can also smell the strong and fiery beer. People who work there will smell very weird smells, like cigars.

People who visit can hear the birds tweeting from the outside. You would all hear people talking sitting at the bar reading the latest newspapers.

You can feel the wind brisling through your face because of the doors that slam open. I could feel a drink spilling on me. I recommend you go to the Whaddon golf club because you can go golfing, get a drink and find more funs things to do. You could even go and get a paper.

In the past 1000 years I think the Whaddon Golf club could be soneones house or mansion being rented out. In the future (50 years) it could be a restaurant like the Hungry Horse or the Harvester like the one in Baldock.
