For my two regular playing partners and myself, with a combined age of somewhere in excess of 260 years, the 31st of December last year was a momentous day.
Exactly one year before that we had agreed to hang up our clubs at the end of the season and transfer to non-playing membership of the world’s 4th oldest golf club – the Bruntsfield Links Golfing Society in Edinburgh. And on balance, it has turned out to be a decision that has proved to have been made just in time!
A few years ago our group numbered around a dozen but due to a surge of age related infirmities and sadly the more final flood of fatalities, there were only the three of us still playing.
My next post will tell you what drove us to making that decision.

A Scotsman giving up golf??? That would be like transfusing all the blood circulating within your body. Say it ain’t so, Johnny! I feel for ya, my friend, 🙂

One door closes and another opens. All you have to do is walk through it. All the best, Muriel

I take it that non-playing membership does allow you to drink in the golf club-house. 😀
