Monday 25th May 2020 Progress continues

Monday 25th May 2020
Progress continues and looking for new  freedoms soon,,,




We may have seen this one before, but do you feel there is a certain hand-eye coordination missing from your game ?






Just read in Telegraph that Weston-Super-Mare Hospital has closed to new patients due to a doubling of CV19 Patients, with 40% of Staff proving positive, I believe Taunton has also seen a spike - Please be careful as we don't want to lose the enviable position the South West holds - someone out there is spreading it around .




Guess who walked back to his car after a round..and couldn't find his shoes....until he looked down !!!

Show how dry it is I guess.

Thanks to my observant playing partner for failing to point out my fashion faux pas !


Mind you Roger's Beard must rank very high in the Frightening Fashion Stakes !

Tried our first round using VPar and obviously a few things to learn.

About Vpar
In order for you to pick other players, they have to have VPAR and both of you have to follow each other to be available when adding players. 

You don't need to create a game. Just press the flag sign and continue on the last last page, it will give you the option of adding players. Anyone you follow and they follow you will be available to add

Passed Alan & Johnnie on 5th. Alan doesn't have the smart phone, but John has, so advised that so long as Alan registers with VPar on his PC - John, or anyone, can add Alan as a Player.

Mind you, not everyone can or will 'join the Club'.

The information on todays blog is complete gobledegook to me and I will give it a miss !




So we have work to do.



Had a few things to remember for the Blog, but latest Newsletter from Alex explains much of it, including Lisa  selling Fresh Sandwiches ( all nicely wrapped) from the Pro-Shop Fridge and tea & Coffee in the Office behind...but no use in Frank walking in and asking for one of his 'Half-double-decaff half-caff' mixes.



Initially the Censors blocked this one, but as the Ladies have now used it, guess it's OK - few swear words within, but a mighty good picture of the Golfing world !





Today is Diana and my 40th Wedding Anniversary, which should have been Celebrated up at CST on Sunday with Family and Friends from around the World. But, just like Geoff losing his 60th and Nick losing his 50th - we have to look to the future.

I had flown back from the Oil Rig on Thursday, with no suit yet organised so Diana marched me off to M&S and made me buy one where you mixed Jacket &  Trousers to fit.


As a display of remarkable consistency of character - can you see that even 40 Years ago I was intent in ruining the photo whilst everyone else is 'Watching the Birdie' -  JKP is making sure his foot is in the correct position - a crime I would be made to pay for heavily when the Wedding Photos were produced !!!
Yes, the hair was long gone even by that tender age !
Diana organised everything and even made all 7 Bridesmaids outfits.
