Non-Energetic Golfing in South Africa by Tom Taylor of Theatons

Posted by admin under My Golf Returns

I am definitely in the wrong line of business!

me playing with putters at the golf shop

Just received an e mail from IT Consultant fat cat Tom at www.theatons.com.,  the Sun Dog who is a stand and tan man in South Africa at the moment with his girlfriend Chloe.

He sent me an e mail of him “golfing” in South Africa, inviting me to visit his blog at http://www.theatons.com/blog/. to witness him in action.

It’s alright Tom, you take it easy and don’t overdo things or pull any muscles - I would not classify trying out a putter in a golf shop as “Golfing in South Africa” and I am beginning to wonder whether he has a bout of sunstroke or has been engaging in smoking illegal substances.

Whatever the case may be, you have a nice holiday Tom and get out on that golf course! that face of yours is getting a bit fat and you could be done with the exercise big boy.

And p.s where is my e-letter for March?

Car Number Plate That Precisely Sums Up My Golf

Posted by admin under My Golf Returns

My wife Linda and I have a private car registration plate which contains the 3 characters “LAG”. A number of friends and relatives believed this stood for Linda and Graham, but in actual fact, it was bought as an abbreviation for ‘Linda Alison Gordon’.

Some may think that my standard of golf is criminal hence the “LAG” element. Personally, I feel the below plate is a closer fit to my golf game……
