Re: Only saw him once

Was he the ex boxer? Once saw him while playing pitch and putt at Lytham. My mate told me who he was. We didn’t have a go at him about his slow play :) Well that's a coincidence. I only saw him once and it was on pitch and putt at Lytham. Seemed a nice guy with a nod and smile for anyone going past.
