Sports   (Talk about balls here.)

Watching the open from Sandwich brought oh so many good memories back for me ,for it was 1981 when i along with 3 workmates went down Bill Rogers' won it that year. He received £25,000 he scored 276 -4 ,Bernard Langer came second 280 ,Ray Floyd third on 283 ,My hero which has and will always be Jack Nicklaus with a score of 290 , my reason for telling you this because jack was one of the early players being so low down ,as he was approaching the tee off area just coming from practice putting area ,i had just bought one of his books and as he approached i popped out and stood in front of him and asked him could i have his autograph !!! TO MY ASTONISHMENT HE SAID""" WHY SURE YOUNG MAN""" TO HAVE MY LONG TIME HERO SIGN HIS NAME ME WILL LIVE WITH ME UNTIL MY DYING DAYS ..... HE WAS/IS THE TRUE AND HONEST PROFESSIONAL AND MANY YEARS LATER I STOPPED HIM AGAIN AT ROYAL LYTHAM ST ANNE'S AND I KNOW SCEPTICS WON'T BELIEVE THIS ,.....HE REMEMBERED ME !!!!! WHETHER IT'S BECAUSE I HAD SAME BOOK WITH ME ,BUT HONEST HE SAID""" DI I ENJOY SANDWICH ???? AKIN TO WILLIAM JOHN BOSTON A TRUE GENTLEMAN ,, HAPPY MEMORIES ALLL ......GB
