Zico, thanks for asking if I was ok. Nothing physical, but I think it was a combination of events. A shit game Sunday, sad news re Billy Bonds, on top of a couple of family issues, culminating in me being a bit mentally drained.
Glad you are ok East. I don't think the time of year helps either, cold, dark nights,depressing, and I am such a fair weather golfer I doubt I'll be out on the course again till March at least so little excercise for me! I noted it was 14 years last week since Gary Speed passed so gave a mate who also lives on his own a call just to check in. Probably a good time to say if anyone on here is a bit down and needs to reach out they can always whomail me if they want to get something off their chest. Not sure much use I would be but always here if needed. Know what you mean re Billy Bonds. I was going to do a tribute quiz but apart from not being able to find 20 questions I couldn't actually do it. Your own mortality really kicks in when someone as fit and tough as Billy passes. As someone on the Billy thread said you would just have expected him to run it off.
