This may be a longshot, but I figured it'd be worth a shot for some very specific encounters. Anyone aware of any stories related to golf? I'm only aware of the Jules de Grandin story The Horror on the Links. I would assume there's a spectral golfer out there somewhere!

Golf IS ghastly.
I think there were quite a few de Grandin stories that involve this hellish "sport."

Golf IS ghastly. I think there were quite a few de Grandin stories that involve this hellish "sport." H. Apparently they often play in this country on links courses, which are very windy and full of sand dunes and next to the sea. There is a golfer called Sandy Tate, who is Scottish who should be good at these courses. There was a fine Spanish golfer called Seve, whose last name I can't spell, who was a fine man too and sadly died. I know there is Nick Faldo, who is a bit old now, and Rory somebody who never wins the main events anymore, and someone called Rose. Oh and that awful Tiger person. The Scottish invented it. Edited to say it is something like Rory McEnroe. But not that. |
