The McEvoy Interview - Part II
McEvoy is a very busy man. He has an imminent trip to South Africa to go with the finishing touches to his new position as Business Development Director for Playgolf, the company building the new six hole golf courses. Near London it will be a chance for golfers to take on the 12th and 16th from Augusta, as well as the Postage Stamp from Troon and the 12th at Royal Birkdale. There is all this plus concerns about losing three highly rated squad members for the 2005 Walker Cup in this conclusion of this interview..
Peter McEvoy – talking of the Future, and the Past
Peter McEvoy is one of the greats of England Golf - a very respected golf writer responded to an enquiry about McEvoy by saying ‘quite possibly one of the last of the great amateurs’. McEvoy has not played at the highest level for nearly 20 years and with a young family, he now contents himself with a couple of rounds a month at his beloved Copt Heath, venue of the McEvoy Trophy each Spring for very the best juniors. The handicap is still scratch and the quality evident, and Peter happy if play is not slow. Time which was spent on honing a wonderful golf game is now devoted to many business interests but McEvoy took an hour out of his day to talk about the game of golf, for this web site – it’s a feature interview you must read.
Tony Reading - Reflections from the President of the Union
If you have attended a County Match, or a County Championship, over the past two years, you will have met the soon-to-retire President of the Union, Tony Reading. Tony is instantly recognisable, tall and distinguished . He would probably hate to be called debonair but he epitomises a look of a retired Guards Colonel and is always immaculately dressed. At the end of his two years as President, he took time to reminisce about golf in the comfort of his home club, Maxstoke Park Golf Club.
