Once again, that familiar motion from childhood, of pressing the metal rail to slide down the window then reaching through to open the carriage door from the outside.
What a wonderful piece it had me reminiscing about “lost holes” which brought back some lovely memories. I spent some time walking over the Broad Hill in Aberdeen this morning where I used to walk with my grandfather 60 years ago and only became aware that golf was played over the Broad Hill in the 1800’s from seeing a course map from 1873 in our clubhouse. I looked to see if I could find the old green sites and also reminisced about my walk with my grandfather. Like Darwin would be I am disappointed with where golf is heading and am not sure if what we call progress is really progress at all. I have not yet had the joy of playing Rye, Woking or Aberdovey, hopefully I can put that right in 2025 if not before. I need to set aside some reading time myself as my book collection is growing faster than I am reading them.

How wonderful Alan!
