The Lasting Effect Of A Golf Game

‘Golf, A Game Of Life’ (My Story, June) resonated with me. At the high school where I taught, the staff always had a golf day on the first day of the Christmas holidays.

Having young children meant that I couldn’t attend but one year, my in-laws were visiting so off I went. At the first tee, I lifted the club and attempted to hit the ball. Failed! So, I swore at it and had another serious go. Result? It didn’t move and I

ended up on the ground. Someone recognised what looked like a knee injury. The doctor said that it was a torn cartilage which would probably worry me in later age. Having now turned 80, it is a regular pain! WENDY HUDDLESTON
