  Hahaha , Kind words all, not quite that old KP lol and Clem you are still the only Irishman to acknowledge my being King, if only just to humour me, and just to shut me up really lol

  Thank you Sidersbest for the acknowledgment lol , i now feel old, its been a long trip since the days of Bali Hai CTTH and a set of starter clubs, there were no choices lol

  A trailblazer award may be just getting a little carried away though , but again , thank you

  As much as I appreiate WGTChamp for being there when we need him (and it seems he has always been there.)   Vetting says 2015 is his start date 

   

  And as to the age of Irish King 1916 only he knows for sure maybe he is maybe he ain't 104 . I know at 89 my Dad played several rounds and had fun last year.
