“Sandwich has a charm that belongs to itself…[on[ a fine spring day with the larks singing as they seem to sing nowhere else; the sun shining on the waters of Pegwell Bay and lighting up the white cliffs in the distance; this is as nearly my idea of Heaven as is to be attained on any earthly links”
Such joy in February and wonderfully told. I would just love to play in such fine and elegant company - I am referring to Hamish and Archie ;-). Please arrange to borrow, next time we meet.
I think it best that days like this remain few and quite far between. If they were to become commonplace, they might lose their very special shine after a while.
It's not the one shot that brings a true golfer back. It's all the shots. Poor shots motivate as well, though differently than the good ones. Even the shots in-between push a true golfer back for there's always room for improvement.
I was a bartender for a while. What I said about people drinking applies to true golfers. "They drink (play) when they're happy. They drink when they're sad. They drink when they win. They drink when they lose. What a fine business this is." Good, bad or indifferent, I must go back and play.
Another wonderful piece and Bernardo would enjoy your view……

Another fantastic account of a wonderful place.
Always an enjoyable read! Would love to bump around The Isles for a month or two, golfing on your fine links courses.
Charles might consider engaging some caddies, based upon the size of his hounds:

Sandwich is truly a special place. The club does everything well, and a special course to boot.
Hello again Richard. Another fine piece.

Another lovely piece about a special place
