Having just come back from a trip to the play the golf courses around Paris this piece, so beautifully written (as usual) has resonated with me so much. I lost more balls in 108 holes than I would generally lose in an entire golfing season. It was so disappointing when you are looking forward to playing these fabulous courses for a first time; Les Bordes (Old, New, Wild Piglet), Saint Germain, Fontainebleau, Morfontaine (Grand Parcours & Valliere) and your normal golf game deserts you in 30° + temperatures that I am just not used to which appeared to frazzle my brain in more ways than one. However, I still had a great trip despite the humbling experience on the golf course, I made a few new friends and have memories, both good and bad, that will live with me forever. It was so humbling it made me realise that golf is not my raison d'être but I have so many others things in life to be grateful for.
Splendid prose. Cheers to “the pathetic mismatch” and to you, our sage friend!
Thank you!!!
