Redhill Road Cobham, Surrey KT11 1EF www.silvermere-golf.co.uk 01932 584306 The course is probably most famous for the 17th and 18th holes which are played over the Silvermere lake. Silvermere, however, really should be better known for a former use. Silvermere lake was used by Barnes Wallis whilst testing the famous Dambuster bouncing bomb. In the film and more recent TV documentaries you may recall scenes where Barnes Wallis used a huge catapult to fire mini prototypes across a lake to test whether they should use forward or back spin; a spherical or cylindrical shape; a smooth or dimpled surface. These tests were all conducted on Silvermere lake. So is you lose a ball on the 17th or 18th be consoled by the thought of all the other valuable objects that your ball has joined in the water.
