" 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. The trip for May 2010 (the 18th trip) has now happened and the 2011 trip is being planned. The administration, as you might imagine, is a nightmare of immense proportions.
These pages will tell you everything you need to know about holiday golf in north west France.
You can see the 2010 results here >>>>>>>
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. oui, il n'y a aucune banane en notre possession, là ne sont aucune banane en notre possession aujourd'hui There is a hard core of devoted attendees and several changes of guest personnel along the way. 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 2010 Honorary Gritters. Simply take the Personality Test and apply............
