Fellow golfers
As 3rd choice match manager (!) for today’s fixture, I’m delighted to report that the Forty Club golf season finally got underway today at West Hill with a match against Babalou Golf Society. Despite their being captained by one of us, we left the club with mixed emotions – so good to be returning to something approaching normality but some sadness that our unbeaten run since the start of the season in March (played none) has finally ended! It was a fine match with the narrowest of deficits 2 ½ to 3 ½ and the consequence of the Forty Club picking up the lunchtime refreshment tab. Not only are they, as a society closely aligned with our own views, but the West Hill course was in good nick for May and as ever we were excellently looked after by the staff.
Definitely a match to look out for next year.
Our fixtures are now up and running and I hope to meet up with many of you over the next month or so.
Best Wishes
Doug
