Out-door Games: Cricket and Golf/Chapter 9

There is a common room with table football, billiards and a kitchen, as well as a creative workshop and a sound studio. The billiards table is open to members who wish to play. To ingenuous youth I observe that all these fads are absurd, and nobody who possesses any self-discipline need fall a victim to them. In cricket you either hit a ball as hard as you like or you merely stop; that at any rate is the case when you first go in, and when you are nervous. First Thursday - Board meetings, at 10 a.m. Brinley, better known as Bryn became an accomplished billiard and snooker player, he first started playing at Preece’s Billiard Hall, Somerset Street, Abertillery. In October 1946, Mr Bryn Gravenor of Abertillery appeared at the Billiard Hall, Pencoed to play a series of exhibition snooker and billiard matches. I can remember many things in both those matches still, but I can see how it all appeared couleur de rose; there was not a bad ball bowled, there was not a bad hit made. There is no doubt but that a pretty lofted shot on the putting-green into the hole is a beautiful stroke, and I fail to see why it should be sacrificed because another player finds that his score, which he is keeping when he should not, suffers by being stymied.

There are a few exceptional cases when a great player is on the top of his form, goes for everything and brings off everything, and makes a phenomenal score; but I notice that generally these marvellous scores come off when he is playing an ordinary single or best of two balls, Open Billiards Club and merely counting the strokes. 14. E. I. U. SERVICE CLUB.-Before closing this chapter on the institutions of the service, the Club is entitled to a few remarks; already the subscription list amounts to upwards of 2,000, and its daily visitors on an average to 150; the situation is most convenient,and all the luxuries and comforts of London Club life are there. All levels are welcome. We welcome visitors of all nationalities. You cannot win a match if you approach and putt badly; but there are some courses, Sandwich, for instance, where you may just as well go home as dream of winning a match or making a respectable score if you are "off" your driving. Sandwich, for instance, which ranks as high as any English links, seems to have been specially laid out to promote the interests of the long driver, and St. Andrews, perhaps more than formerly, seems to be laid out not only to encourage long driving, but long second shots as well.

Should the deceased have made a will, and the estate be solvent, the executors carry out the wishes expressed in the will. You can try things out or just relax. When we get old our enthusiasm is tempered by judgment, and criticism makes its appearance; it is true that we note what is good, but we note what is bad also, and when this is realised, it can be seen at once that as far as the thing to be judged is considered, the conditions are so different that our judgment ought to be carefully weighed and balanced by the sifting of facts and figures. Three years judiciously spent on furlough, ought to be considered the three best years of one's life. Door prizes and prize for the best "Western" themed costume.

A solitaire style game that uses sets of mahjong tiles. With a sufficient number of bunkers and hazards, however good the greens and lies through the greens may be, you nevertheless find that golf is not an easy game except when you are at the top of your form, and when that rare event happens, everything is easy in games and sports of all kinds. The tempers of some golfers have their humorous side, but there are also some that are painful to witness. Club 55 is Georgina’s older adult centre (Keswick, Sutton, Pefferlaw) - an exclusive space where adults 55 years or older can come together to relax, socialize, meet new friends and have fun. Members have access to special events, lunches, outings, programs, leagues, and more that will keep you not only physically and mentally active but also connected socially to peers and to the community as a whole.
