Things would move on then to Llandaff Fiels pitch and putt for the British Open week with one year I remember a few people wearing Mr Lu (a South Korean player who almost won one year) bucket hats. Contrary to the tennis courts, I was a regular at the pitch and putt course especially during the school summer holidays and used to resent all the one week a year merchants cluttering up the course on which my big claim to fame was getting a hole in one on the short third with my putter
A few of us used to regularly play the small 9 hole golf course over at Ely Race course.
Seems like a lifetime ago!
