Letter of the Month

-

I recently lost my wife of 43 years to a 20 year battle with cancer. A very sad time for me and my family was made more bearable by being able to get out and play our wonderful sport. I’ve been a golf club member for many years and to be able to get out and play with friends, to breathe the fresh air and enjoy the scenery, the wildlife and the exercise has benefited both my physical and mental health. The 19th hole banter is also a reminder that life goes on and without all of this, I feel I would have struggled even more. I feel so lucky to be hooked on this beautiful game.
