I used to play at Beauchief in those days and wondered does anyone know what happened to David Clay who used to be the Professional at about this time? I did hear he was in America but not sure.
Also did his sucessor Brian English pass away?

Used to play after school there in the 70's.
Remember EVERY sunday morning getting up early with my Dad and sitting in the car park ( think it was about 6am or so ) and waiting for the bloke to put the sheet up so you could get your name on the list for a tee off time later on in the day :gag: Then driving back home for a few hours kip :thumbsup:
Memories of my well spent youth there last orders.

P.S. How many golf balls did you lose on the 18th hole ???? :help:
Could never get it over the woods :rant:

Sorry I don't know the answers to the original post but seem to recall hearing that Brian had died - he'd often come in the bar at Abbeydale Sports' Club in the 70's. I also remember the name of David Clay but there was also a David Dunk around that time, too.

I probably sat in the next car to you Canadablade, I too was one of the early starters. Sometimes went straight to queue up Beauchief after Saturday night out.We always teed off at 7.30am though so we could be back to the Beauchief Hotel for opening time. The clubhouse didn't have a bar in those days.You're right about the 18th it was a bugger, spoiled some good rounds with that tee shot!

Thanks Chairboy, I knew Brian English liked a drink at Abbeydale Sports Club my brother in law used to work the bar and I remember him telling me.Sorry if he's died, he was a character.
David Dunk was I think David Clays assistant in those days.
