Game Gone, Game On hen asked to name your favourite year, I’m not sure that W2020 would be high on anybody’s list. The CEO of Zoom might disagree, perhaps sailing around the Caribbean on his yacht pulled by a fleet of swans. But almost everybody else who has lived through it will have very distinct memories of the deep unpleasant- ness – lockdown lost jobs, strained relationships and even worse. And above all, the overriding oddness as our lives were utterly transformed by a global pandemic. For me, that feeling was only heightened by something I brought upon myself in the spring, as 7 OLIVE, MABEL & ME I somehow fashioned our entirely unwitting Labradors, Olive and Mabel, into viral stars of the internet. In my normal job (which, admittedly, is not particularly normal) I am a sports broadcaster – commentating on all manner of events, mainly for the BBC, but really for anybody who will employ me. It is a hugely enjoyable profession and one that I am very fortunate to do – travelling around, describing the action in golf, rugby, tennis, athletics and other major events besides. But it does rather depend on sport actually taking place, which has never been an issue. Until this strange year of 2020. It was during the Six Nations rugby tournament – one of the highlights of my working calendar – when we started to feel that things were perhaps going slightly amiss.

  • A History of Padeswood and Buckley Golf Club
    A History of Padeswood and Buckley Golf Club The club would not be in existence today had it not been for the enterprise of Arthur Joseph. The first record we have of a golf club at Padeswood is on the 1912 OS map which shows Mold Golf Club occupying the land on the right of Station Lane. The course remained until 1922 when the members moved to Pantymwyn. Some documentation, however, suggests that the Mold club was at Padeswood as early as 1909 although no actual records have been found. The Padeswood course was left derelict until 1932 when Arthur Joseph, holidaying in the area, spotted an ideal prospect and decided that he could make the land into a good golf course. At the time he was the professional at Mellor and Townscliffe Golf Club, Derbyshire, and already had to his credit the design and construction of the 18 hole Great Ormes Head Golf course at Llandudno in 1903 and the Mellor Golf Course in 1919. It is also believed that he was the professional at Bury Golf Club in 1913. Arthur set up as a tenant at the Bridge Inn, Padeswood (now demolished), in 1932. Having obtained a lease from the Fairbairn- Eyton estate and a licence for playing golf from Mold Golf Club, he began to reconstruct the course. He drained water from the ground into a stream that meandered through the course. All the groundwork was carried out single- handedly with just a spade and wheelbarrow! Gradually the course took shape and the newly constructed 9 hole course at Padeswood came into being.
