Sweet Words

A  very brave John Sweet craved our attention at Roll-Up to announce his diagnosis of Vascular Dementia.

He thanked the whole section for the tolerance he had been shown, especially those that had played with him .

It was plain to see  his memory lapsing over the past year, ahead of this formal diagnosis. The first effect being the suspension of his driving licence.


We do not need to dwell here upon what the next few years will bring as we have seen it so often in our section.

Bob Hollingworth; Mick Aldridge, George Willerton; Tony Fairbank; Keith Harper; Gareth Jones


As we always do, we must move on as joining the Seniors Section rarely has a happy ending.




Myself & Billy were drawn out with Jim Lauchlan on Friday, a dream team - maybe not,  as I was rude about him on the Blog recently about his recent performance.

...but he spoke with his Clubs yesterday as he scored all the points on the first 6 holes with "one to count" - including a birdie on the 5th.

Jim thought it may be due to his doing away with the 'under glove' he had been wearing to allow his hand to heal, and replaced with barrier cream - which vastly improved his grip,

Took a rest on 7th - then scored on the next 11 holes. If Billy & myself had helped just a little - he would have taken the spoils today - but a single point on the 15th slipped us down the order.

The Winners Mark, Gordon & David gained 5 points on 15th alone. 15th was toughest hole today - with not a single Par being made, despite having eight single-figure handicappers on show.

Very busy next week as Golf steps up a gear. Please keep your eye on the notice board as there are about 7 things to sign up for. March Hare on Wednesday.
