Douglas GC Newspaper Report The list of things that I have got done in the house is getting bigger by the day. I am now getting to the things that don`t really need doing, jobs like jet washing the gutters and Garage roof, painting the Garage floor etc, so now they are all done I have decided to dust down my Bagpipes and have a go at them again. I am sure my neighbours will not be the only ones who want to see an end to this dreadful Virus.
As I mentioned in my last report, this is usually the weekend that we sit down and watch the Masters on the television, whilst on the Sunday there was a brilliant documentary about last year`s event and Tiger`s come back to win it again, it was just not the same as sitting watching it live when it gets to the back nine on the Sunday night and you're hopefully cheering on some European golfer to win it. My heart goes out to the six guys from the club who had all booked to go to Augusta for what would have been the Golf Trip of a lifetime. At least they will get the chance to go next year instead. As I am now out of self-isolation, I had a chance to go shopping for the first time, this took me down passed the third Green at Kewaigue, as I drove down I noticed the fairways and green all looked lovely and manicured, so on the way back I stopped in at the School car park. I got out and had a proper look, it was great to see that Murray and his team are doing their best to keep it in such great condition. I have to say I felt like the kid with no money with his face pressed up against the sweetie shop window, all that I desired but no chance of getting anything. At least when we do get back to playing again the course will be in great nick. Hopefully it will not be to long now. As I mentioned last week, these are difficult times, so it is important that we all support each other. It might be a nice thing to perhaps give someone you play golf with a call just to catch up with them, they might be going through a tough time and your call may make all the difference. Keep safe, The Grousebeater.
