Globespan -- Final Report

Further to the previous reports Globespan have now refunded the £30 per person handling charge for those affected by the delayed delivery of their clubs to Portugal last month (click on the travel link on the RHS).
This was after strong representations directly to Globespan and articles in the press.
Globespan admitted that they were aware that the situation was not dealt with as they would have hoped, as passengers were not kept fully updated. In the light of this they are now reviewing their procedures in dealing with offloaded baggage.
It must be emphasised you must try to book your clubs as soon as possible after booking your flight. It may be also wise to check that they will accept clubs on that flight.
These difficulties do not only apply to Globespan but can affect various flights to golfing destinations at peak golfing holiday times.
The Fells and the Faulds are happy with the outcome
BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR TRAVELS

Milngavie v Clober -- Centenary Trophy Match

The annual match for the Centenary Trophy between Milngavie Golf Club and Clober Golf Club was held on Sunday April 8th. Clober was the venue for the Junior Teams and the Thomson McCrone teams, while the Donald Cameron teams and Ladies teams played at Milngavie.
Results (Milngavie 1st)
Juniors 1.5 - 2.5
Thomson McCrone 2.5 - 1.5
Donald Cameron 1 - 3
Ladies 4 - 0
Final Result: - Milngavie 9 Clober 7

Photo shows Anna Telfer, Captain of Milngavie GC receiving the trophy from Jimmy Graham, Captain of Clober GC.
Anna said " I am absolutely thrilled to have won the Centenary Trophy. This competition has been running for over 35 years and as Milngavie have only lost the trophy 3 times in all that time, the pressure was really on ! The matches are always played in a very competitive but also friendly manner as befits a contest between local rivals. The difference this year was a resounding victory by the Ladies team and I hope we carry this form on for the rest of the season."

Husband and Wife Golfing Joke

Out on the golf course with his wife, the husband says, "Twenty years ago I had a brief affair. It meant nothing. I hope you can forgive me."
His wife was hurt but said, "Dearest, those days are long gone. What we have now is far more valuable. I forgive you." They embraced and kissed.
On the seventeenth tee, the husband was starting his back swing when the wife blurted out, "I'm sorry darling, I've been so conscience-stricken since you told me, but since we're being honest with each other, I have something to tell you also. Fifty-two years ago I had a sex change operation, I was a man before I met you. I hope you can forgive me."
The husband, froze at the top of his back swing, then threw a fit! He slammed the driver into the ground, kicked the ball into the woods, stormed off the tee, pushed the golf cart over on its side, broke the rest of his clubs one by one, then started on hers.
He screamed and ranted, "You liar! You cheat! You despicable deceiver! How could you? I trusted you with all my heart and soul... And all these years you've been playing off the ladies tees?!"

Globespan holiday golf club booking disaster

Chris Kelly and the The Windyhill Belles, 8 "girls" from Windyhill Golf Club are flying out to Portugal on 30th April for 1 week. They booked their flights ages ago but have only now tried to book 4 Golf bags and clubs this weekend to be told that they are fully booked re golf equipment and we cannot get our clubs on holiday with us. Chris says - " We have been looking forward to this holiday for over a year now and have 3 rounds booked at various courses." "What do we do now? "
She is presently getting in touch with the Company who booked their golf and perhaps they could hire us some clubs, here's hoping. They will certainly be looking at other Airlines when arranging any more trips.
