Village Golf

There’s a new Golfing Website on the block!

- although ESPN shouldn’t be worrying just yet.

I live in a village in the East of England where the common rule of thumb is: the ladies ride horses and the men play golf (there are however exceptions where some individuals walk on both sides of the road) It’s a picture of suburbia where the general mantra seems to be, It doesn’t matter what you do in the bedroom as long as you don’t do it in the street and frighten the horses.

My own family seems to have fallen into the mould and my wife and daughters have two horses which they keep on three acres of land (I mention the size because I’m planning to turn half of the field into a short par-3……. I’m just picking the right the moment to tell my wife this). They go riding and I go golfing - the way it was meant to be.

The golfing men folk seem to be of an age where they will agree on nothing and fallout over anything, with handicapping often a cause for contention and where being accused of being a ‘Bandit’ has almost become a badge of honour. I decided what the village needs is a golfing website and I ventured myself forward as the man for the job, to co-ordinate golfing activities and try and bring some sanity back to our lives.

I don’t know what I’ve let myself in for and I’m sure I’ll regret the day I suggested it, but hey-ho, you’ve got to give it a try………haven’t you? Perhaps when it’s up and running I’ll insert a sneaky little link on Aspiring Golfer, so the rest of the world can laugh at the petty goings on in a golf sad, but mad, English village.

I’ve registered the domain and designed the front page……..the rest is downhill, which is the way I’m sure it will go.
