All golf clubs in England have been invited to take part in vital research to help shape future investment in the game. England Golf’s 2012 Golf Club Membership Questionnaire will monitor membership trends and highlight the effectiveness of current development initiatives and resources. Copies of the questionnaire have been sent to all clubs but it can also be completed online at www.gcmq2012.org. All clubs who make an online return by 11th May 2012 will be entered into a draw to win one of three Apple iPads. Meanwhile, all clubs which return a completed questionnaire will be entered into a draw to win a fourball on the Hotchkin Course at The National Golf Centre, Woodhall Spa. Since the first survey was distributed in 2002 the research has helped England Golf to identify significant changes and challenges facing clubs and to direct finances and resources. The research findings have been used in a number of ways including: • Providing golf clubs with statistics to compare and benchmark themselves, to better assess their business health and progress. • The development of flexible membership packages and best practice examples for golf clubs. • The production of the Recruitment & Retention Toolkit for golf clubs. • Production of county and regional information to identify and support development of the sport at a local level through County Golf Partnerships. • Specific support for women’s and girls’ golf. • The production of the Junior Organisers’ Handbook to support and improve junior structures within golf clubs. • Provision of data to Sport England to gain funding for the England Golf Partnership’s ‘Whole Sport Plan’. Richard Flint, Development Manager for England Golf commented “Despite the pressures of the economic climate, golf in England has reacted to the challenges and changing golfing environment. “This biennial research is a critical part of meeting these and future challenges and will enable us, along with our County Golf Partnerships, to establish recruitment activities and transform facilities and offerings within clubs to meet the demand of existing and potential golfers.” Once all data has been collated a national results booklet will be produced in the autumn along with individual county breakdowns. Previous results booklets can be downloaded at www.englishgolfunion.org. 13 Mar 2012 England Golf monitors membership trends

For those who believe where the health services are concerned that the faraway hills look, and are, greener, the story of John Hayden serves as something of a reality check and in the same process show that the Irish system is far from disentangled.Resident in Kent in his native England, he had just entered the world of retirement and was anticipating along with his wife, Bridget, relocating to Ireland and specifically Donegal having bought a house in Drumkeen.It was the summer of 2015 but at the time the move was on the horizon, John, who had been employed in distribution and marketing with the ‘Evenng Standard’, had been feeling unwell. Initially, he believed he had the symptoms of a very bad cold. “I went to see my GP who, after examining me, prescribed a week’s course of antibiotics for a chest infection,” he related.Three weeks passed and with still no improvement in his condition, he returned to his doctor only to be given more antibiotics. “This happened on a further two occasions with the same outcome. This occurred over a six month period and just weeks before our move to Ireland.”On January 26th, 2016, John and his wife arrived in Drumkeen and moved into their new house three days later.“On that day my daughter and best friend noticed that I was not right and she insisted that I went with her to see her G.P., Dr McDaid in Letterkenny so on the Monday morning I found myself sitting in the doctor’s surgery.” Within minutes of being examined, John was directed by Dr McDaid to go to Letterkenny Hospital for an X-Ray.“Later that evening, Dr McDaid called my daughter to tell her that something showed up on the X-Ray which needed further investigation and an appointment had been made for me the next day.“Having had another X-Ray I was seen by Dr Keating in the cancer department who took a biopsy.”Within a week, another meeting with Dr Keating disclosed the results.“Unfortunately the biopsy was cancerous,” John was given the grim news. As he revealed in a reflection at the ecumenical service during the recent Relay for Life weekend in Letterkenny, an appointment was made for him to see a specialist at St James’ Hospital in Dublin.“Following consultation and further scans at St James, I was seen by Mr Young who detailed my condition and said the only course of action was to operate and remove either half or all of my lung. It turned out to be the whole lung.”On March 27th, 2016, John underwent the operation before embarking on a twelve week course of chemotherapy and after care with scans and informative consultation.“From the six months of seeing my G.P.s in the U.K. with no blood tests, no X-Rays, to being told I might have rheumatoid arthritis, or to the last G.P. testing me for dementia – all incorrect – and then to seeing Dr McDaid who immediately recognised that I had a problem. “I am now three years in recovery and still receiving the best possible care. I cannot thank Dr McDaid, Dr Keating, Mr Young, the staff at St James and the staff at Letterkenny Hospital enough,” John acknowledged those who had promptly diagnosed his cancer and acted upon it.And in the process potentially saved his life.Health Focus: Drumkeen resident tells how cancer isn’t always the winner was last modified: June 6th, 2019 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Tags:cancerDrumkeenJohn Hayden
11 October 2013 Brand South Africa has saluted US media personality Oprah Winfrey, who will address an O You! event in Johannesburg on Monday, for “playing her part to empower and inspire South African women”. “As an international brand ambassador, Ms Winfrey has played her part to improve the lives of others around the world,” Brand South Africa CEO Miller Matola said in a statement on Friday. “In South Africa, she has provided a platform for aspirational leaders by opening a leadership academy for girls in Gauteng. The school is home to aspiring young female leaders who have excelled academically and who display great ability. “We salute Ms Winfrey for playing her part internationally to empower and inspire girl children, so that they know they are equal citizens of the world, deserving of equal opportunities,” Matola said. Brand South Africa said that Oprah, who has often described former president Nelson Mandela as her personal icon, “embodies the values of the South African spirit”. “Through her various platforms as a media entrepreneur, she has encouraged individuals to propel their personal development, and in so doing, play their part in building their communities around the world.” A number of experts and guest speakers will also address attendees at the O You! event, which is being hosted by O, The Oprah Magazine at Johannesburg’s Gallagher Estate.

Fifteen-year-old Aasim eagerly awaited Id when his elder brother Aurangzeb would be home with all the gifts, including his much- needed cricket bat.Rifleman Aurangzeb, however, did not make it home — terrorists abducted him on his way home and killed him earlier this week in Pulwama. The brutality has left young Aasim shaken to the core but not weakened his resolve to join the Army.‘He was unarmed’Aasim was on the phone talking to Aurangzeb, when the latter was abducted. “My brother was on his way to Poonch in a private vehicle. He was talking to me. I heard a shout ordering the vehicle to stop. I thought there was some checking. I never imagined militants were kidnapping my unarmed brother,” he said. Aurangzeb, who was with the 44 Rashtriya Rifles, was part of Major Rohit Shukla’s team that gunned down Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Sameer Tiger. But, despite the immeasurable loss, Aasim’s spirit remains unbroken. “I will join Army like my brothers and father,” he said. Their father, Mohammad Hanief, was a former sepoy in the Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry.
