13.01.2022 I have to say that I really enjoyed walking around the course last Tuesday and Wednesday. The golf, not so good, but that didn't matter. The opportunity to get out of the house reminded me of why we are allowed back on the course enjoying our sport with our friends in these co-vid times. The beautiful surrounds and perfect sunny winter days, enjoyed without wearing a jumper or coat, was marvellous and only enhanced the joy I was feeling about being outside and not cooped up in a house.
