2020, what’s your highlight

[Tashyboy]

In what has been a massive anus Horriblus. There must be a few highlights of the year be that golf related or not.

For me counting £5,560 of RBL poppy appeal money a. Ouple of weeks ago and eventually managing to get in the bank was up there.

For Missis T, schooling the kids and seeing them play on the back garden was hers.

So what’s yours

Seeing how my kids, aged 14 and 17, have taken such a positive view of the pandemic, played by the rules, been responsible and hardly moaned once about what a crap year it’s been. I know they haven’t found it easy, and can’t begin to say how proud I am of the pair of them.

(Oh, and winning Winter League as well ?).

Finally seeing the WHS in.

So much of my year has been spent doing all the work for it at our club that it has been a great relief to finally relax and just play (up until today).

Only real highlight was the first grandson being born.

Earlier in the year I'd joke with our boys that they'd been training for the lockdown for some time - running their 'social life' from their bedrooms with headset on.

Mine is easy - making the ladder lift in the fire service assessment day. Failed it twice so last chance and still had some doubt despite working hard at the gym. When I lifted that awkward, heavy, cumbersome chunk of metal over my head I felt like Superwoman. The rush of adrenaline was something else and I wanted to run around screaming at the top of my voice but played it cool and strolled away! Glanced at the Watch Commander, who had seen my fail the second time when I was really close, and he gave me a surreptitious thumbs up...

One of my proudest moments ever but had to focus as still had tests to do, which I'd passed previously, but had to again as all have to be passed on the same day.

On the golf front, as previously mentioned on the "I played today" thread;- on my 1st par 3 hole played since lockdown 2 in England was lifted, I had a hole in one ?

Well done Amanda ?

Seeing the pics of the babies above was pretty good! (congrats folks!)

Playing the Bideford Bay Open in the summer after lockdown was great.... I had a pint in a pub on Westward Ho! Prom too!

The birth of our first granddaughter back in May, tempered by the fact she is in Australia and our trip out there so see her was cancelled so we are now watching her grow up on FaceTime!

Hopefully late 2021 we might get the chance to go out there.
