All Around Me are Familiar Places

This is the golf course where my da spent most of his time. 

He liked to golf on Wednesday evenings; Friday evenings, Saturday Mornings, and Sunday Afternoons. 

In the summer, he quite liked to fit in a Thursday night and a Tuesday night too.   And a Monday evening as well. 

As a special treat for me, he would let me caddy for him.  I would have to listen to him describe every shot he was taking; in addition to listening to him describe every other amazing shot he had made at the hole we were on.   When I was away at University; he would write to me, and give me the details on paper. 

When we finished.  We might have a drink in the Clubhouse - while I watched him play the bandit.  

If it was a day-time caddy expedition, he would let me take him to Togs for a coffee; where all the ladies having coffee together would all be fluttering eyelids at him and saying "hello Sonny".  And I would pay - that was my reward for having time with him :-) 

I  was so lucky to have these times with him - and everytime I drive past the golf course I remember just how lucky I was.
