GOLFING IN DONEGAL 2008   Date: 16 Oct 08

We may not have had quantity but we certainly had quality on our recent trip to Donegal.  The elite of the Brookhouse golfers (handicaps under 10 only) made it on this trip and if you weren't asked then you simply didn't make the cut!! 

Anthony (Tubsy as he is affectionately known as) certainly found the dinners in the evening a bit large especially the steaks, but true to form the lager went down very well.  Rumour has it Tubsy is looking for love, I have taken the liberty of giving Hans the German fairy his mobile number and home address.   Hope this will work out well for both of you.

Les Biddle who has now been asked would he be interested in joining the Donegal mountain rescue services after his experiences on the golf courses of Donegal, they are looking for some volunteers.   Despite his age they were very impressed with his capabilities in the way he manouvered himself aound the mountains of Donegal in the pursuit of golf balls.  As a matter of fact Les lost 32 of his own golf balls but found 1875 in the mountains around Donegal, quite simply he is truly remarkable and never gives up. 

The Nash brothers didn't let us down both played crap and Shay Nash or Jim whichever you prefer is now on his third novel on his phone.  I word of advice for Pat from a friend I would seriously look into DNA proof regarding Shay!!

Allegations have been made about our respected Treasurer Alex which are totally untrue and uncalled for.  I can verify personally that I did see him put some of his own personal money in the kitty, so the likes of Mick Coffey and Terry Parker if you persist in these allegations legal action may be taken.

I would like to consider myself a friend of Denis Ryan so friends can say these things.  Put your golf clubs on e bay and you may consider another hobby such as stamp collecting or maybe bee keeping.  Others may talk behind your back but as your Captain and beloved Govenor the truth may hurt but it is better for you in the long run.

If some of the elite group continue with there slanderous allegations as regarding me and the German fairy Hans I will be left with no choice but to bar the individuals.

On a final note as regards my driving capabilities  I have taken advanced driving lessons in mountainous terrain and am a qualified pursuit driver.   All I can say is the sports Range Rover was very much under powered and should have been able to go a lot faster. (Jeremy Clarkson eat your heart out).  So there.

On a serious note I hope you all enjoyed our short trip to Donegal.  There is rumours that our next trip to Ireland will be to Tipperary, Mick Coffeys and Mick O'Gormans home County.  Quite simply all I can say about that is be warned it is the home of Knackers (gypsys), bog (swamp land).  If we do decide to go there Flak jackets will have to be worn at all times.  You have been warned.

Kindest Regards Your Captain and Govenor and generally nice fellow

Gary
