Comment from David's Dad
ReplyDeleteIain,
I have left a bag of Davids mostly unworn Gullane Juniors clothing in the pro's shop. I hope a good home can be found as they are just sitting in a drawer here.
David in his 1st year out of juniors has won the QE tournament and the famous Halford Hewitt with Watsonians and the Varsity match for Oxford all with Gullane penned after his name. Obviously his father and uncles were never Gullane juniors!!
Thanks for all your hard work.
All the best for the season.
Charlie
