When its Spring again Ill sing again.......cool grass from Amsterdam

Well what do you know....Ive been promised two
days work in a row back at the Dale. And there was I
getting all angsted up about not being needed anymore.
Lets hope its a great season....and the great Theodore
Phunnel , wit, raconteur makes some impression in the
major competitions at the Dale. Last weekend he shot
6 over and he actually complimented me on a good
selection of clubs and good lines. Even a blind squirrel
,as they say sometimes finds a nut.
Im sure the course is in a bit of a state because of all
the rain this week..so it will be playing long. Target golf.
In many ways easier for the caddies to select the right club.
But harder in other ways as the ball doesnt take the normal
breaks on the green. It will just be great to be out there
again after about 3 weeks of no income and no activity.
It sometimes feels like its a feast or a famine. But I have
a good feeling about this season , and Im sure a lot of the
overseas members will be over in droves since the security
scares seemed to have abated . One of my favourite overseas
members is Tracy Ullmans husband who is a splendid fellow,
and normally plays at the Riviera club in Los Angeles. Not a
bad knocker either.
The first major competition of the year is the Foursomes
where lesser pros try to get their game in shape before they
get back out there on the tour. 2 years ago I got Chris Rodgers
through to the final....and he is now back playing well on the main
tour. I have not seen the list of entries for this year but its always
a buzz to see what big names want to get finely tuned at the Dale.
And the next really big one is the Battle of Stynchcombe Hill...
early May.....more of that later.
Stay cool, wont you ?
