TC had knocked his five iron to three inches whilst Cock was forced to hole a forty yard chip shot having stuffed his first into the bushes.There is only one picture available and luckily no sound.In 2006 at freslonnierre. we had the good fortune to bump into the guys from "The French Connection" society who were also on their annual tour. We had a drink and a chat, a great bunch.

Readers will be pleased to learn that this did not stop Ian and T.C. upgrading theirs without telling the others. The presidential suite is large enough to land a small helicopter in and has the nice view of the square shown below. Harry and Tippy can be seen enjoying an early morning cigarette.
