From our golf correspondent.......
It has been many months since I last reported on Snopper`s golfing antics due to the fact that he has apparently been occupied with other more pressing matters. So it was with a mixture of surprise and incredulity that he was spotted the other day taking on the notoriously easy 9-hole course at nearby Poult Wood.
He seemed to have prepared himself well for this tentative re-entry into the royal and ancient game (reports confirmed that he had loaded up his trolley with enough golf balls to ensure he shouldn`t run out) although it must be said that his deportment and course management were perhaps more a little cordon noir than befitting that of a style guru and fashion icon.
No matter, it`s the game that matters and, having lost just two of his precious golf balls on the first three holes, he began to re-awake his slumbering mojo and played reasonably over the rest of his round which included his usual repertoire of deft touches, wild swings and a healthy slice of good fortune, all of which might encourage him to continue into the coming winter months.
So it was good to see the return of this shambling figure, now well into his 80th year, back in the swing of things and, as an impartial critic observed from the gallery, "That`s one small step for Snopper, one giant leap for mediocrity."
