G’day i’ts been some time since I’ve had a chance to play with your minds,so I thought I would start with a retrospective of the year just gone. I know it’s taken some time to write this but I’m a slow learner. third grade were the best five years of my life. So now to it.
THE YEAR THAT WAS
According to the Chinese Calendar it was the year of the CHRIS.He took all before him requiring an armed guard to take his silver wear home. Although one person did try his best to prevent him winning. That person was Emilio who employed his superior soccer skills to head Chris’s ball away in an attempt to spoil his game. All to no avail.
WHO CAN FORGET…….
Rodger’s knee? After one lot of surgery it just didn’t get better. Look for further updates in following Newsletters.
TIA’S
Both Trevor and David Ford suffered Transient Ischaemic Attacks last year. We trust both are doing well in their recovery.
Fred Howe spent three days in Hospital undergoing tests.We hope all is well.For those who don’t know him Fred was a founding member of the club and a loved Father figure.
It was also the year we farewelled Fred Kitson. Although his was a short tenure he brought with him a spirit of joy and goodwill, so much so that the club honoured him with his own event, the spring cup. It was only fitting that Derek took out the initial event.
It was also the year the Turkish Mafia invaded the club with considerable success. Speaking of the Mafia one member of that group has gone on to becone a rising star. Take a bow Kazim Akdag.
From one rising star to another.David Rees is another newcomer who has gone from strength to strength becoming the Clubs lowest handicapper. Could be that he’ll achieve his aim of scratch.
SO…….LETS SEE WHAT A NEW YEAR BRINGS!
I leave you with a quote from Alice Cooper in his book ‘Alice Cooper Golf Monster’. He writes, “I quit drinking in the early 1980s,and thats when golf became my new addiction.I’d play 36 holes a day then I’d go hit 600 balls. I went from a 36 handicap to a 9. I know a lot of guys who’ve traded alcohol for golf .”
Until next time ,
Hit them straight and not very often.
