Entries for 'Lesley Moffat'

Before I say anything more I have to truly thank all of the members of the Shivas Irons Society for their incredible generousity, and all your support. Over £5000 was raised for Downs Syndrome Scotland and your members contributed in no small measure in this. Thank you, thank you so much.

All I can say is that money will make many lives better, so thank you from the bottom of my heart to you all.

It came as I looked over the vast expanse of golf courses that stretches nearly three miles—from the Kittocks and Torrance courses, down the cliff tops, over The New Castle course... then to the spired town of St Andrews and the spittle of land stretching into the Eden Estuary that is "home of golf” and finally to the outward Jubilee. In three days I had golfed as far as the eye could see on every one of the 72 holes.

One shot, one step, one hole at a time. I had a moment, after some windy cold weather, as the sun shone over the whole, when all I could say to myself was, “You did it!”

March 22-25.

I have now completed the seven municipal courses in the Fife Golf Trust, which were for the most part, in former mining communities. Now I am looking forward to playing in some former fishing communities in the East Neuk of Fife.

The good, the bad and the ugly —
The good at Dora was a sweet par four on 18 in front of the clubhouse, the bad was the 12 shots taken on the previous par 5, and the ugly was coming out of one fairway bunker straight into another.

Can we change my designation from "golfer" to learner?"

Four down twenty-six to go.
