BRIGHT COUNTRY GOLF CLUB Way back during Dr Benjamin Rush’s (1745-1813) days, he was quoted as saying “Golf is an exercise which is much used by a gentleman in Scotland. A man would live 10 years longer for using this exercise once or twice a week”. With those words of wisdom, let’s see how the ‘Gentlemen and Ladies’ went last week at Bright, and see if they think that chasing a little white ball will lengthen their lives for at least another 10 years.
