pmm711:Knowing and playing Alt-Shot with you has been an honor.
Sadly we only ever got one game of Alt Shot in .....primarily because when both Peter and I are on....no other fooker is! That said, we do have a 100% winning rate as a team!
But we have played quite a few stroke games together.....and below is my reply (abridged) to Peter today when I saw his message......
I remember the first game we played at Olympic - I played extremely well and shot a 27 -28, and you just had a nightmare and shot a 45 or something like it. But you chatted all the way through, listened to the little bad advice I can offer and still seemed to have fun......that day you will not believe how much respect was earned. You have never sought pity, and I appreciate your honesty....not only to me, but in the forums (although the mods did not like it lol)
Man did you give this game a good go,,,,,,,,and all this going through a life experience no-one should have to go through,
I will sign off saying I feel hollow after reading your message. Not that I am religious, but I will pray to something, for you and your family.
That prayer is for a miracle, you deserve it mate.
Odd how a silly little golf game can bring people together, people we have not met but we forge a strong bond, a friendship that goes way beyond making a birdie, par bogey.....or in Peters case, worse :))
Someone I know I would get on well with if we met up.
I am privileged to see Peter grow as a virtual golfer, a person and as a friend.
