As part of a charity sponsorship arrangement we have acquired 5 signed copies of a book written by a Hearts supporter. If you want to win one of these copies then please post on this thread. This competition is, as usual, only open to our subscribed members. This thread will lock Sunday night at midnight. Further details below. 

 

 

 

 

Johnny Jones, an 86 year old Edinburgh author and life long Hearts supporter – has just completed his 3rd book, A Storm on Any Course. 

 

The first 100 copies of this eagerly awaited book, offered an opportunity to have your name printed at the end of the chapters, and all proceeds from sales were given to the Edinburgh and Lothian’s charity for disabled adults, Get2gether (SC043027).

 

JambsosKickback donated a very generous amount to this charity and we would now like to offer you an opportunity to win one of these limited edition books in our draw. 

 

A Storm on Any Course is a collection of short stories in an around the Golf courses of Edinburgh, East Lothian, England and New Zealand.

 

‘Still searching for riches and recognition, Zander has a mid-life crisis No longer going sailing and ground down by household duties, he has swapped the hazards of the sea for those of the golf course. The stage may be new, the action different but our leopard cannot change his spots. Golf is the vehicle that carries us through this account of the good, the bad and the ugly of the players, officials, and downright oddballs who populate the game of golf.

 

While playing his own (not so competitive) game over some of the best golf courses in Scotland at a number of corporate outings, Zander stumbles upon Hells Angels, sneaky Spaniards, dangerous wildlife, overgenerous sponsors, a wealthy alchemist, a Phantom, a generous pawnbroker and a canny minister amongst others’.

Just to confirm that the sales of this book raised £1200, which includes a donation from this forum. Please see the message below. 
 

 

Thank you for your donation to help our chosen charity Get2gether. We raised £1200 and transferred the money over, just before Christmas.

Some of this group were out at the King’s Theatre over the festive period and made time to create their own special ‘cheque’ to show their appreciation.

The summary of what you helped achieve is on my website https://johnnyjones.co.uk/2022/01/12/donators-raise-1200-for-charity/

In the very near future, my son will be uploading more content, highlighting my retiral from golf, as well as related photos from Zander's Trilogy.

If you enjoyed reading A Storm On Any Course, or indeed the books before this, please send in your review to this email address, and it will be published along with your name. 

Again, thank you for your generosity.

Best wishes

Johnny
