| The Great Escapees | We are twelve ladies who have escaped to play golf. We need some advice. One of our number has absolutely no fashion sense at all and insists upon wearing check trousers all the time. She then insisted that we all wear pink one day (see Honorary Gritters page)How can we tell her? Response: Send us the photo and we will put it on the site. That should do it. By the way, you have our sympathy. One of our number once bought a pink jumper with flowers on it, - can you believe it !!! |
| Pierre, the bread van driver, Avranche | Je conduisais un fourgon de pain. Vous pouvez imaginer ma grande surprise quand j'ai frappe par une balle du golf!!!!! Quelle surprise !!! Elle a fait beacoup de dommages a ma peinture blanche. Vous me devez 150 francs! Ainsi, j'avais projeté jouer le golf avec mes amis que l'après-midi, mais moi souffrait du choc. Ainsi je suis allé à la maison. Imaginez maintenant mon autre surprise quand j'ai trouvé mon épouse dans le lit avec son amoureux. Il y avait un grands arguement et elle encore je. La compagnie de pain m'a mise le feu et tellement maintenant, beaucoup d'ans après, ici je suis sans le travail, aucune épouse et toutes parce que Simon a frappé sa boule de golf à mon fourgon de pain. P.S. Avez-vous fait des quatre par ? |
Tony Pottle, Nottinghham | J'irai à la base de mes escaliers |
Dull person with nothing much better to do, Southend on sea | Did you know that an anagram of the gritters golf society is "EIGHT FOREST LOGIC TEST" Apt? |
| Coral Lover, Walmley | I recently discovered some Coral at the bottom of my garden, what should I do? Response: Under no circumstances go anywhere near it, Coral is highly dangerous. Get professional help. |
| Mike Brown, French Connection Golf Society, Berks | We have been doing the same as you guys for ten years now in the same places and at much the same time of year. Like the web site and think we might set one up too. If we are there at the same time why not meet up for a drink and some golf? Note: In fact we did meet up at Freslonnierre, nice guys, four of them went on to form a barber shop quartet singing group and are now Honorary Gritters. |
| Simon Sugarman1, Leeds | Excellent site, we do a similar tour every year in April and are planning to get our own site soon. One day we should have a match between all the groups that do this? |
| Sebastian, West Flange | Fantastic site, I laughed aloud several times, this has definitely helped us with the organisation of our own trips. Thanks for sending us your competition details, we tried out the 3 from 6 format and it works really well. |
| Pierre, Val Andre | Playing my local course recently I sliced my drive at the 12th hole. I have two questions. First, I found your towel, can I keep it? Second, do I get a free drop? p.s. the rhododendron bush is doing really well. |
| Kevin, S E London | I laughed until I cried, and then I laughed some more. This is all so very true. Loved the handy hints. Desperate to read Chapter Two of Short Stuff's life story, when is it going to come out? Gritters Response: Haven't written it yet, but watch this space |
| Jag Elska Storpit, Sweden | Hello from Sweden all of you Golfing Gritters men. And a very special hello to the quite cute though fat one called Short Stuff.

| Ron, Essex | We had never played there and had got conflicting advice and so didn't know whether to risk a game at Freslonnierre or not. Your pictures and write up tipped the balance, we had a great time, thanks a lot |
| Amante del Pene Tiesos | We are numbering 8 Spanish girls who love to play the golf in the hot weathers. We enjoy particularly the adventures of the one you call "Short Stuff".
