In reply to Jan.

Laugh – Jans, I think me trying to make contact with the ball again, is useless – because of my eyesight and my coordination!
Thank you for the introduction to Val. I think we can become not ‘golf-buddies’ but friends!

Oh Gaye I loved the angle you chose to represent this.Those moments with the Downs Syndrome kids were so rewarding and leaves one with the sense that no matter what our challenges may be, simple pleasures bring equal delight. Those kids and their staff are inspirational. I wonder if Val could help you make contact with a ball again…let’s see!!!

Gaynor – wow! – another great weekly article where you have taken one observation of life and transformed it into a window into many other aspects! You write with such engagement of your subject matter that I am always left intrigued by the topic of the week and hungry to know more about the people, activities and places you have written about. This week is no exception – like many others, I had no idea that there was an Up with Downs School in George. In looking at their website, I am intrigued to find out more about the school, the valuable role it plays, and how many of its needs can be met to further improve the lives of its students. So thank you for yet again opening another door that improves the lives of so many.
Keep the weekly articles coming – they are fascinating!
All the best

Loved this Gaynor! Golf is a wonderful sport to watch or play and I’ve been surrounded by golfers all my life – my grandfather, father, uncles and eventually my husband and son. Although the golfing bug never bit me seriously, I too was taught by Val and Ken regularly has lessons with his ‘girlfriend’ Val! She is exceptionally talented and just the loveliest person to be with! I was not surprised to read she is assisting children from ‘Up with Downs’. That’s simply who she is. Maybe time you and I go have some fun on the Mashie courses?!
