~ ~ Most of you will be aware that one of the greatest pleasures in the ‘mad cabbies’ life is my beloved golf. I’m never happier or more content with my lot in life than when I am stepping onto the first tee of a golf course, and preparing to pit my skill (what I have left of it) and wit against the course and my opponents. Every time I do this it’s a new challenge, as no two rounds of golf are ever the same, even when you have played the sport for over 40 years as I have! ~ ~ But here in Ireland, there is one huge drawback to being a golf addict, and that is the climate.
