Q-School Graduate
Every year I plan to play all the way through the festive season and every year it never happens.
Played up to about mid -December then got involved in the usual round of pre-christmas panic. Always planning to get back to the course but never quite making it. Then the ubiquitous cold/man flu, the odd bad session at the range and before you know it the clubs have become a large cupboard ornament and it's mid January!
There's a part of me that refuses to accept that golf - at least in the UK- is a seasonal sport but another part that can't continue to ignore the facts(well ,my own anyway).
I take my hat off to anyone out there who manages to maintain their normal golfing routines from December through to about March. I salute you and aspire to show such resilience.
Im not giving up and turning into a fair weather golfer (frankly that involve about 3 games a year wouldn't it?) but sometimes I wake up with a tee -time booked and think - nah.
On the other side if you can drag yourself out on a clear day chances are you get the course to yourself, some of the most stunning views to be had all year and with the right company a few hours away from the tribulations of a country which seems to be flushing itself down the U bend
This is my first post of the year so a belated happy new year to all of you and looking forward to a second year of being on here, being informed, stunned, amused and occasionally shocked whilst talking my own brand of utter b@llocks with a load of fellow nutters obsessed with hitting a little ball with a stick round a field.
Long may it last (raises glass of Lemsip- cough cough)
