ABOUT THE GRITTERS GOLF SOCIETY

We are all in our forties, fifties and sixties (apart from Tippy whose age is the fifth derivative of a counter rotating spatial algorithm) and we like to gamble for the odd Euro or two and we love to sing a song in the bar, eat great food, make fun of each other (as this web site aims to do)  and generally have a fabulous time. (oh yes, and play some golf).

We have all been friends for many years and, although we all play golf together at various times throughout the year, we do this special trip but just once a year.

This particular event  has a history dating back to 1990 and because we have enjoyed it all so much, we thought we would share it around a little.
