I knew of a “putting green”, Jim, but nothing about a “putting roof”!
Luc. They will probably leave some holes in the roof once they have finished so you can play crazy golf when you visit...
I’d hate to be ... off-putting, but only held a club in my hands twice. Managed to send the ball furlongs and furlongs away (I used to play hockey at school), but never in the intended direction! Was good fun, though. By the way, last time was an “initiation session” on the practice of ... Waterloo Golf Club. They still find little white balls of mine (marked LC 1815) in “Ferme de la Belle Alliance”. God knows what kind of legend historians are going to make up on that!
Luc. You appear to be ideally suited to crazy golf.
One of best chief winemaker of Sauvignon: Anouilh !!!!! I don't know what can we do without him. He bring in the wine all his finess and intelligent, he had !!!!!!
Antoine. It always pays to employ the best – money no object!
