A group led by Jenny Zeffman met at the driving range at the Play Golf London venue in Watford Road, Harrow, at 2.00 pm - 4.00 pm on Friday 23rd Jan.

The group was some 12 strong. The clubs were easy to hire from the reception and buckets of golf balls were collected from the dispenser on the range. Each person had their own space, mat and Tee to practice. The meeting was to show how easy this is and it was. Each person had a unique style of swinging the club and hitting the ball. Some managed to hit right down the range but most ended left right and even the nets. Accompanied by jovial banter and laughter Laura and Leonard were champs of style and distance ;-). After about 30 minutes of practice we all went to the restaurant upstairs. It had been cold on the range and so tucked into Pizza, chips, biscuits and drinks. Jenny the group leader had generously arranged for the food to be served piping hot. We had a choice of crispy brown bread pizza too. Gradually the conversation was push started by the talkative to get the shy members involved. It came to light there were some brainy people with PhD. MSc and BSc present there. They too need to relax with this activity. The aim was to get everyone feel comfortable and not left out. Most had been there before but some were first timers. All enjoyed the golfing range the hot food and the varied conversation.
