Got the course. Got nine of the hole clues. Got six of the column clues. But I'm stuck in a very deep bunker currently!

Does hole 2 end in 't' or 'e'?
Is hole 7 something associated with bobbins?

Any help gratefully received!!

Many thanks Unclued...I should have got gamba as I lived with a girl at university who played the damned thing!

I'm afraid I don't have 9 or 17 yet. I thought 17 might be Artemis until I worked out it had 8 letters. Still trying....

8 is adobes, 12 is damoisel, 13 is sorel, 16 is bimbo. As well as 9, I'm still trying to solve c (lower), f and k.

I have c(lower) as 'broom' which makes 'bimbo' wrong for hole 16! I have k(upper) as 'a'body' which is dialect for everyone. No idea presently for k(lower) I'm afraid. If bimbo is correct then sympathise for column d must be incorrect.

9 is Sacha (sa = without date, cha= half of a dance - chacha). 16 is broom (bro + om) and bimbo is correct. I had the tee for 16 in the wrong place to start with. I have the entire grid now and understand most of it but have a feeling I've misunderstood F or got it totally wrong.
