please return to….?

THE recently ousted Labour government came in for some criticism in ‘The Sun’ last week for apparently wasting 12,000 pounds of taxpayers’ money on personalized golf balls emblazoned with the ‘UK Trade & Investment’ logo. They were subsequently given as ‘freebies’ to foreign businessmen and tycoons. Now I’d like to take their editorial to task on a couple of points. Firstly, as most golfers -including Prince Andrew – will attest, many of the best business deals are done on the course. Secondly, the government was, if I am not mistaken, also ‘buying British’ as Titleist have a factory in Cambridgeshire. Sounds like money well spent? Now the funny thing is I’d like to know how one of these balls came into my ‘possession’ recently on La Noria Golf? If there are any Russian oligarchs who have lost one of their prized Pro V1’s please contact this page for safe return of said ball.
