Re: The appeal of the sea
This was in Devon too, I mention it because it’s true, I’ve forgotten the name of the game, but it involved some kind of spoof which obliged the loser to drink a single measure of a drink chosen by the winner, in one go.
Obviously, the usual drinks weren’t chosen. I remember feeling bad after a giant gipsy kept choosing green Chartreuse every time I lost. Additives weren’t allowed, and straight gin is very hard to swallow too.
The licensee wasn’t bothered, he made a fortune from a load of nutters being silly. I was driven home by a tractor, or a spaceship, and was glued to the toilet for a long time.

A group set off around the course c/w the usual tackle, plus a bottle of Vodka each, cheaper than Whisky I suppose.
The winner,or joint winners of each hole have to immediately down a shot of Vodka.
By the time they get to the 19th, they're usually all equally useless and legless.
The perfect handicapping system.

In Scandinavia the name of the game for New Year is Whisky Golf.

Re: The appeal of the sea
The sea, It's so different all the time, when I was young our house was not 20 yards from the beach and it was a little elevated so that from our lounge or bedrooms we had a clear view out over it. I have seen the lightening bouncing across the surface on the horizon, I have seen the waves lighting up as they break due to the (I was told) phosphorous, the moon reflecting along it, the sunsets were always amazing I have seen the raging storms and I have seen it like a glass.
I could get home from school and get my cozi on and run down to the beach for a swim, and my mum could call me from home I didn' have to mess about getting changed. There was a time when there were hundreds of holiday makers too, I used to feel so proud because I lived in such a wonderful place, sadly this has all changed and the place is deserted now like many other resorts in the UK, although it's not actually boarded up yet I believe, but it's only a matter of time I'm sure.
Oh yes them were the days, when Britain deserved the Great in it and the sea was blue
