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!

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?

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……
