“So Near and Yet so Far”

is a song written by Cole Porter for the 1941 film “You’ll Never Get Rich”. It’s also the name of a 17 minute 1912 silent movie directed by one of the greatest directors of all time, D.W.Griffith.
And it is also the Mona Vale Golf Club which shares a private road with my rehab centre and which fairways and greens can be teasingly seen from my window!!

Thanks again for taking the time to comment. This golf course is a private course. There is no way I could afford the membership fees!!!

Nice view! Maybe with a golf cart you can enjoy the golf course once more!

[John Falconer]

@gardenfolk
Not really. I can’t really hit the ball any more (if I ever could!) but I’m looking forward to walking round with my grandson again in the not too distant future.

[CC Folk]

@johnfalconer Does your grandson play golf? A nice bonding sport.

[John Falconer]

@gardenfolk
He started playing at the beginning of this year and he’s coming along in leaps and bounds.
