Our love affair with the Borth and Ynyslas Golf Club
We had a high fence and were surrounded by the golf course on three
sides...Every summer the golf club sprayed the course with chemicals
to get rid of broad leaved weeds/ wild flowers. Golf balls frequently
came into our garden and broke our windows. This was dangerous. BUt the
worst problem was their cavalier attitude to the spraying. They would
never give us notice and spray when it was windy. One year our fish in
our pond all died and plants were often damaged and our washing smelt
of chemical sprays... After over ten years of being treated as a
crazy nuisance the woman secretary would tel me before the spraying took
place , I could then take in washing, shut windows, and keep the
grandchildren indoors. From 1979 -2000 they absolutely refused to tell
me what chemicals they used.
When we first moved in the house was in a bad state a long loved,
unused holiday home, the past owners in their late 80s. The golfers
had broken in and used the toilets as their own. This continued after
we moved in. We were conveniently situated half way up the course. I
decided I needed to go and see the secretary and inform him a young
family lived there now and things needed to change. He was an elderly ex
naval gentelman. At three oclock in the afternoon I was offered not tea
but a a gin and tonic from an almost empty bottle.... My requests had
not really been taken in. His solution to the broken windows was that I
go onto the course and ask the golfer responsible for money to repair
the windows.This I tried once, it was difficult to identify the
miscreant and I was threatened.
We grew vegetables and salad crops for a few years and golfers would
come into the garden uninvited and smash the lettuces with their clubs
looking for their golf balls.
When golfers asked politely if they could have balls in our garden
back I would give them back. Other balls we kept and used to put in the
branches of a large bush. It was very
decorative our golf ball tree with many pink, yellow, green and white
balls nestling in the dark shiny green leaves. This Golf ball tree was
the talk of the local pub!
In 1986 our local peace group had a geiger counter and we were using it
around our garden. The reading went off the top of the scale. We
presumed it was broken only within days to hear on the news about
Chernobyl. ................thal
