  Brian "Shovlovin" Shovlin - WGT 13 January 2014 to 7 April 2018

  It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we have to inform you that our illustrious leader, founder of WGT Amigos and friend to many people here, Shovlovin passed away on Saturday afternoon. He battled his illness valliantly to the end, and may he now rest at peace.

  WGT Amigos will continue on with the great spirit, dedication and humour that Shov has instilled in all of us.

  Shov - we hope your drives fly straight and your putts roll true on the fairways and greens above us. It has been an honour to call you "Bosstwat" and above all else an Amigo. Rest well Amigo.

  I played with Shovlovin several times, The Andyson was the last time and He was a cool Guy.

  RIP Brian

  To say my heart is broken would be a gross understatement :(

  I was a member of The Amigos for some time, and I will always remember Brian with so much fondness.

  This news comes as a real shock to me because I wasn't even aware of his illness. It's a sad sad time indeed :(

  He was a lovely man, and a great CC Owner ...always there to help, no matter what ...and he adored his members, it was so plain to see.

  The world is a poorer place for this huge loss and my heart goes out to all who loved him & all he loved. My deepest condolences to The Amigos members.

  I do hope that WGT will see fit to assist in establishing a new Owner for this wonderful Country Club ...if not for any other reason but to honour his memory by not allowing The Amigos to slip into oblivion without an Owner.

  You made the rules WGT...let's see u bend or break them on the grounds of honour & compassion.

  Brian was 100% dedicated to his members & worked hard to establish one of the most successful Country Clubs in all of WGT history ...please don't allow that to be tarnished & leave almost 250 loyal members in WGT limbo.

  R.I.P. Brian

  A lovely man, a great leader & a wonderful friend

  To all who read these posts:

  Each WGT Avatar has a human behind the mouse. That fact is lost in the 'big picture' yet we each can tell hours of  stories about WGT folks we have met on our hours clicking the virtual golf balls.

  Brian {shovlovin} Shovlin was an amazing 'SKIPPER" of WGT Amigo(s) ! That is IT! 

  Rest in Peace Brian. There is a HOLE now where you once sat. There is NO need to fill this hole. Rather if you all might consider...when you sink those putts..you will pause now and then and reflect on the 'JOY' you got/get from those you "FRIEND" on WGT and beyond!
