FAREWELL GREG NORMAN..
Our Golf Correspondent reports
It has been an interesting time to be following Snopper`s golfing exploits in the last two or three weeks. Some have been admirable, others not so; but some of them have happened off the course, away from the ever critical galleries.
Take, for example, the recent changes in Snopper`s golfing equipment. Now some months ago hus next door neighbour, who can perhaps be described as a `proper golfer,` bequeathed some of his cast off irons to Snopper, having upgraded his own set of clubs to a more upmarket one. Snopper has got the hang of these and his iron play has consequently reached a level that might now be characterised as `adequate.`
And just last week, his neighbour the other side - himself a 15 handicap trophy winner - donated a couple of `rescue` clubs, a 4-wood and a 5-wood, which Snopper gleefully accepted as he is in almost constant need of `rescuing.` His first sortie with this neighbourly array of clubs showed signs of improvement although Snopper accepts that he made need to get used to playing with decent clubs for a change.
As for the Greg Norman in my title above, I have to report that Snopper managed somehow to use the same Greg Norman golf ball for almost three complete 9-hole rounds, only for the ball to disappear into dense undergrowth on the final hole of his third round. This in itself is something of a victory but one tinged with a little sadness as Snopper had grown quite fond of his Greg Norman ball and was sorry to see the relationship coming to an untimely end.
