Slowly and cautiosly our lives are returning to normality. Aren't we all pleased to resume thoughts of returning to the raves and our No 1 outdoor activity.... outdoor swimming.
As I walked round on Thursday, chunking and pulling and missing simple putts, I was heartened by the collective performance from 79 Highwaymen. It was a treat to see that none of the usual suspects in the winners enclosure. Furthermore the results were all close with only a 5 shot differential between 2nd and 26th. I'm sure there were 78 of us thinking "...if only".

Much to my relief, the inter-club matches have resumed also. I ask for your patience if you have not yet managed to play but demand is outstripping supply. As a committee, we have started to look at attracting more fixtures for next year.

The effects of the WHS are slowly starting to develop. For me personally, I found that my mediocre round on Thursday (yes alright 31st) was then converted to a Handicap index improvement of 0.7. An unexpected surprise that has relegated the old "0.1 increase" unfairness to history. I hope this will lead to a greater diversity of winners

Finally, as I write this the series finale of "Line of Duty" will be aired tonight. I would like reassure you that I am not the mysterious "H".

Enjoy your golf and friends more.
