Things that give me hope

Sir Bob Charles, who actually had to be convinced to play at The Hills this week and was offered a special invitation to do so, signed off on a performance he called the best he has put together in over a decade.The 71 year old shot his age or better for the third day in a row, finishing on four under for the tournament with rounds of 75, 68, 71 and a final round of two under par 70.

Isn’t that remarkable? The guy even eagled the first hole twice in the tournament. And in 35 years time – when I’ll be the age of Bob Charles – I’ll hopefully still be out on the course and will curse about my swing flaws and missed putts!
