Today’s game saw me and Nigel up against Steve and Frank. Steve the co-owner of the course is the epitome of an honourable entrepreneur, beyond reproach, always cordial, but with a clear head for business. Frank is an octogenarian with a 13 handicap who has been retired from work all of three months! As a fr...
