I remember Dad always speaking about this golf trip where he partnered with the late Dr Trevor Talma. Regardless of whatever was going on at that time of the year, they were going. When the Doc retired from the tour, I got the call asking if I would come as his partner. From day one I quickly realized why it was so very special to him. His two great friends Denis Roach and Roger Beale sharing a house for a week, and the only responsibility anyone had (besides doing the dishes), was to play 18 holes of golf with and against your friends for six days! I also quickly learned how very competitive he was, as well as solid a rock under pressure. But what he loved most, was how the tour developed over the years, old and new friends, younger or older, competing, then having loads of drinks, meals and laughs together. Even after he decided to call it quits, he was still insistent that I make all efforts to continue going on the tour. Obviously that didn’t take much convincing. Anyhow, I’m sure Dad, the Doc, Beale, Phillips and many more will be looking down on us to see how we are getting on. We will definitely raise a glass or two in their memory and honor.
