The Guardian quotes Fine Golf

Now that Brussels is firmly in charge of our laws with the Lisbon Constitution being confirmed, Nick Park, the R&A’s doyen ‘Real/Fine’ Golf committee member, reports that a major theme in Brussels is Biodiversity and preventing loss of habitat.

He thinks golf has a wonderful story to tell on this.

The R&A and the RSPB have published a joint book “Birds and Golf Courses, a guide to habitat management” by Keith Duff and Nigel Symes.

It was reviewed by David Adams of The Guardian recently and he rang me up for a quote. The last time I made a public statement to a journalist was in the 1970s and I got ‘burnt’. I was misquoted out of context.

This time the journalist was of a higher quality and he extracted quite neatly a short quote from our long chat to link into the effects of television and target golf on biodiversity.
