Description

..........during the COVID-19 Lockdown year of 2020 I decided to put together a small book on life during the most difficult year in all our lives. As an avid golfer our lives were disrupted big time with several lockdowns and severe restrictions in force, needless to say we accepted that saving lives was more important than making pars or birdies and everyone staying safe. To pass the time without golf I thought I would write about it and indeed my travels around Ireland over the past 50 years, I was actually inspired by Albert Speer, Hitler's armaments Minister in the 3rd Reich, not actually inspired by his contribution to the war effort, but how he kept himself sane during his 20 years imprisonment at Spandau after his trial at Nuremburg. He was confined in a wing on solitary and had a small yard to walk around, to protect his sanity he decided to walk around Europe, in his mind of course, although he physically did the kilometres each day as he walked around the yard. He had a large map of Europe on his cell wall and he plotted his way, village to village, town to town, city to city, throughout Germany, Belgium, France, 30,000 kilometres by the time he was released in 1966! It set me thinking and I decided to do something similar, not as extensive but I would plot my route around the country taking in the many golf clubs I have played in the last 30 years. It's a sort of travelogue, the many towns and villages I've visited or passed through, the characters I have met, the little anecdotal tales which define a place, it's been fun reflecting back and it passed the summer of 2020, the coronavirus year! In section two I have taken a selection of articles I've written for the Tirconaill Tribune also during the COVID year, they reflect on life during the strange times that are in it, some great people who have left us, and admiration for the front line staff who have fought the good fight during the virus, none moreso than the Nurses who have given everything while exposing themselves to the dangers of the virus. It was therapeutic writing the little book and I have dedicated it to my grandson Oisin who left this world five years ago aged 20, all proceeds from the sale of the book are going to the Darkness Into Light charity!
