Longmeadow Country Club

Wow, what a scorcher at Longmeadow Country Club today!....Massive thanks to everyone for making us feel so very welcome.....the hospitality, kindness and interest shown by everyone at the club is simply outstanding. The course is in magnificant condition and the girls loved their first outing. Our girls are hitting the ball majestically and all of them are in good form with the banter off the course too! There is a lovely lady in the locker room called Dorothy, who has been with the club for over 40 years.....when we arrived today the locker room was stunning...festooned with flowers and Dorothy had also made sure, that each of our lockers displayed the flag of each of our home nationalties.....it was superb to see a lovely Welsh dragon beaming at me today!...thank you so much Dorothy. Tim Quirk, the very professional, professional has now got a full set of pins attached to his golf cap....and very dapper he looks too! Alice the food and beverage manager, is an absolute ace at knowing exactly how to satisfy the girls appetites.....the LCC chopped salad is to die for!....if you are ever in Longmeadow, you have got to try it. Spotted Rich Derby, the course superintendant on the course today and complimented him on the fantastic job he has done on the course, especially the greens...Rich tells me they will be even faster by Friday...watch out girls!.....And now before I sign off, on this very poor attempt at a "letter from America", I could not possibly do so without saying a massive thanks to Roberta....respected and loved by all, Roberta is one of those wonderfully talented people, who has the fantastic ability to make things happen, to the highest possible standard and with the absolute minimum of fuss....a truly classic person. Time for bed....early start tomorrow, off the tee at 8am so need everyone down for breakfast at 6.30.....put the clothes out for the morning... pale blue shirts tomorrow with white shorts....remind everyone to take their locker keys....sun tan cream.....hats...etc.......
