"HELLO, McFly .... is anybody home ?
After all the work you did, and your in depth awareness of the architectural history of the golf course, for you to be removed from the Green Committed is an insult and an indication that the club doesn't value your knowledge and imput, and perhaps, that the club may want to go in a direction that distances the golf course from its historical roots ? ? ?
TE, after all the work you did, all the time you put in, and the terrific book you wrote for the club, the least they could have done is to have made you a green committee member, emeritus."
Patrick:
Perhaps I didn't say that very clearly. When I said I didn't get booted off the green committee I meant I didn't get booted off the green committee---eg I'm still on it. Maybe the least they've done is make me emeritus. Does emeritus mean I have to be really old and have been on the thing for a million years? If so I'll fit right in to emeritus.
