facilities. That’s where my regard for good quality sports facilities originated, I think.


Although, it was also helped because I played high‐level cricket when I was a teenager. I played for Norfolk, where I lived. I nearly turned professional. We had the most wonderful cricket square that was well looked after. And that was good for me as a fast bowler, and sparked my interest in playing on proper surfaces.


And when I stopped work, I needed something to do as well as raising my two grandchildren. It became a useful outlet for me. It can be frustrating when people don’t fully appreciate the work and/or money you put in. People do come on here and lob the woods from a foot high and


take divots.


Sometimes, it looks as though someone’s been on here with a pitching wedge, which I must admit breaks my heart a little bit, watching them chuck their size 4s hard down. I use golf pitch mark repairers, which tells you the damage that can be done. But, I do enjoy it. I will keep doing this for as long as my body is willing and able, because there’s nobody else who will do it.


When I do give this up, I will have to train someone to do what I do, because otherwise it will regress very quickly. I can’t do it indefinitely, but if I stop, all my hard work will be undone. And I just couldn’t live with watching that happen.”
