Are you playing golf in France? Then this is the site for you!
" ce qui est celui à faire avec le prix des poissons "
We are 12 golfers of mixed ability who nip over the channel for a few rounds of drinks and some golf in May every year.
These pages will tell you everything you need to know about holiday golf in north west France.
We just got back from the 2009 trip, one of the best ever. See photos section. To see the video, click here >>>> 2009 Video Highlights (but be patient, it may take a while to load)
AT ANY TIME: FOR THE LATEST NEWS: SEE BREAKING NEWS PAGE ABOUT THE GRITTERS GOLF SOCIETY We are all in our forties and fifties (apart from Tippy whose age is the fifth derivative of a counter rotating spatial algorithm) and we like to gamble for the odd Euro or two and we love to sing a song in the bar, eat great food, make fun of each other (as this web site aims to do) and generally have a fabulous time. (oh yes, and play some golf). We have all been friends for many years and, although we all play golf together at various times throughout the year, we do this special trip but just once a year. This particular event has a history dating back to 1993 and because we have enjoyed it all so much, we thought we would share it around a little. There has been a hard core of devoted attendees and some changes of personnel on the way. We now have a fairly stable group. (Although some of the individuals themselves are fairly unstable). All of the current and previous tourists together with their biographies are listed on the Tour Members page We get quite a bit of feedback from our visitors, please write to us with your stories, your questions or... just write to us. We hope that you enjoy the site. Note that applications are now open for 2009 Honorary Gritters. Simply take the Personality Test and apply............
