 Who goes on this trip?

There is now a hard core of eight devoted attendees, and there have been changes to the personnel and lots of welcome guests along the way.

 

The Gritters Golf Society are:

 

Ian Clarke:

a man of huge abilities and talents, actor, writer, musician, teacher, statesman and genius yet a truly humble person:  "Clarkie" (Coincidentally, the main author of this web site).

 

Tim Clarke:

Usually plays his second from behind some dustbins, a golfer who is deadly from 50 yards and a fabulous streak putter  "T.C."

 

Chris Roach:

Can't chip, can't putt, can't dance but can sing a little "Cock"

 

John Mayers:

First at the bar and last to leave it, knows everyone in the world personally, "Tippy"

 

Tony Graddon:

Stableford points card resembles the phone number of a Glasgow chip shop "Short Stuff"

 

Darrell Fone:

Hits it miles with a swing as flat as something really very flat and chucks up on your carpet, "Dazz"

 

Steve Winyard:

Has the singing voice of an angel and hits a 7 iron 230 yards. Easily the most easily led astray "Winny"

 

Neal Gooding:

The best golfer, certainly the best dressed, if only he could sing. "The Swede"

 

Mark Graham:

The one most likely to think about food and solve your swing issues. "Porky"

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.
