Happy bunny!

For my upcoming 40th, my wife got me full membership at the golf club. What a wonderful girl. But what really got me was when she said that she hoped that I used it and to make the most of it.

So now I have 'permission to get down there as much as possible.

Happy days

Good on yer Hapless

Golf in the morning - job hunting in the afternoon - great for the handicap!!

You are a very lucky man!!

Great present, you are a very lucky man.

What club are you now a full member of if you don't mind me asking?

 

[haplesshacker]

East Horton, near Fair Oak. 2 x 18 and one par 3 nine holer. It's built on clay so is a bit damp at times, especially on the first 2 holes of the Greenwood. But other than that, it's a good course for my standard of play,a bit tricky in places, but generally no long carries over heather to worry about.

Decent pro shop, driving range, and a nice old barn for the 19th, though it is a little too close to the 18th green if you like your beer al fresco!

 

[HarryMonk]

Thats right I remeber you putting in a previous post that you played there.

I really like it, I have played there a few times and enjoyed it, and the old barn is great.

Its only about an hour from me if that.

We generally have a free space on a Saturday morning, so if you fancy it, just pm me and I'll check that the other two haven't already got someone else along.

Good news Hapless! I had an interview for a job in Southampton - if I get that I may be looking for a round after work when the nights get lighter!!

Wow, Best present ever? Possibly!

If Carlsberg did birthday presents.........

 

[HomerJSimpson]

The trouble is what will she be expecting in return on her birthday?

 

[haplesshacker]

Homer. Shes already had a couple of decent rings, a necklace, a stills digital camera and a video camera. Historicly I've always spent more on her.

Aparent there was no caveat attached.

Spent most of today at the club. First some chipping practice, and then onto 14 holes.

What a great wife and best wishes for your 40th birthday.

The club sounds good and by the sounds of it you will certainly make the most of your membership there aswell.

 

[haplesshacker]

Thanks. It's not for a few days yet!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

In which case sir my congratulations on finding the cream of the crop. I know Marge has always been good about my golf, the amount of time I play and practice, the PC time, working on the mag, my FJ myjoy collection and my other purchases but she's never offered anything more than the odd lesson. I can't complain though as she is still a good egg to me!
