Didn't know Mike myself, but to lose someone is difficult. To lose someone at that age must be tenfold. I can only send my heartfelt condolences to all concerned.
Damn it all - so sad to hear your news Cathy and so thoughtful of you to share with us here. My prayers are with you, and your family and friends, at what will be a very difficult time for you all. God Bless.
Many years ago I got off the ferry at Rosslare in Ireland and saw a sign in the arrivals hall, it said 'There are no strangers in Ireland, just friends you have yet to meet'
I feel the forum is often like that and it is very sad to lose a 'friend I have yet to meet'
Such sad news. Mike was a great contributor to the Golf Monthly forum, sharing his knowledge and love of the game with everyone. The thoughts of everyone at GM are with his family and friends. RIP Mike
Never met Mike but, as others have said, he always came across as a gentleman and I enjoyed his posts. Condolences to you and your family and RIP Mike.
