Collectively just a little higher

than the European shoe sizes

 Just enough to support a huge love of the game of golf

Any golf course as long as we

are not at work

We absolutely subscribe to the same school of fun as the Gritters, so Heather just sent the picture over, answered the silly questions and the next thing you know we are on the site and the agreement to loan the Gritters a huge sum of cash arrived.

(Note: See Cash for Honorary Gritters scandal in News archives)

 We put up with the French calling us "Les Dames Anglaises folles se sont habillees dans le rose". But woe betide anyone we should ever meet holding us up on a golf course in France!!!!

6 months (this is 47 in Gnome years)

Note: We here at the Gritters would like to pass on our congratulations to Gary on becoming an Honorary Gritter. As you might appreciate, we get a lot of requests from crankpots and attention seekers, but Gary has passed all of the necessary tests with flying colours. Gary has all the qualities we are looking for. What dress sense! What poise! We were also especially enamoured by that slightly glazed look in his eyes so typical of a true Gritter. We were hoping to use Gary again as our trophy but it was never to be. Imagine how thrilled the winner would be to receive Gary as a prize ! There are sure to be a few tears or two in our eyes as the winner says a few well chosen words on the ferry and then, in keeping with Gritters tradition, thoughtfully and sensitively, hurls Gary into the lake by the 18th.

Footnote: Gary was in fact first presented to T.C. (the winner of the 2007 tour). By the time the tour had concluded Gary had already suffered the indignity of a broken arm and lost both his flag and putter. To find out where Gary ended up, see the 2007 Gritters Movie.
 

I can honestly say that I owe the Gritters everything. That experience changed everything for me, gave me new hope for a better future, convinced me that life really was worth living. I know that the Gritters don't want anything in return and would be embarrassed by cash,  so, let me say a simple thank you. Thanks Gritters, thank you from the bottom of my heart, thanks for everything.

Why I want to be an Honorary Gritter

They keep sending me unsolicited gifts. These have included offers of loans, photographs of themselves in compromising positions, golf instruction books, videos, badges, invitations to "special events", kitchen gadgets and old golf balls.

It was only after I agreed to become an Honorary Gritter that they promised to stop it.

They haven't.

Examples of our work include:

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Badger:   One flew over the Badger's nest:    The Badger has landed:      

Badgers on a plane:      The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and her Badger:    

101 Badgers:        Where Badgers dare:       The Man with the Golden Badger

Full Metal Badger:    Clockwork Badger

We shall shortly be moving into song recording too and plan to record some great classics such as:

My Old Man's a Badger,             Anyone who had a badger,            Its a kind of badger, 

I've got you under my badger and, who could forget that ABBA Classic,          Badger me, Badger You.
