Handicap--9.6

It's the Military, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the
Press. It's the Military, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of
Speech. It's the Military, not the politicians that ensures our right to
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. It's the Military who salutes
The flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by
The flag.

I'm an assistant practitioner Physio within a local government rehabilitation service for the elderly (and before you ask no, I don't know how many drug addicts we have over the age of 80 ) working in the community.

I provide equipment, exercise, advice etc... following an acute episode (i.e. fall, stroke, fracture etc..) to enable people to regain their maximum independence and allow them to stay at home for as long as possible.
I can honestly say that love my job

Apologies mate, I only used the term as a differentiation, no derogatory intent at all, a good 2/3rd of our customers are from down south and our support systems use the word Eire (we all know Eire is irish for Ireland!), to me and anyone I know or work with, its not seen as a put down. Apologies all the same if it has (and it seems it must have) caused offense.

The game is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym and on the range, long before I even make the first tee.

I own a company that provides Modern Method of Construction design to UK and Irish clients.

I have done several very prestigious buildings - but as I am subcontracted when companies don’t have the time, knowhow, talent or insurance to do big projects in house than I take over - I then am their design team - and the company passes it off as their own work (unless it goes wrong).

Its a very small strange niche - which unfortunately is closing a little every day - so please start building grand design stylee houses, keep me in a job.

--------------------
24.5 summer handicap (reduced 12.5% from may) - winter handicap 17 at the start now 13 - can I make it to 12?

Come on the Tandragee Cheeky Boys we can do it.
