FOREWORD

For some time now members have suggested that an index of articles which have appeared in Through The Green would be welcome. As Editor, I have frequently wondered whether an article I was contemplating had appeared before, and on one occasion it had. So as much for the Editor’s benefit as for the Members’, here is an index covering all the issues from TTG’s inception until the end of 2001.

In some respects it has been a straightforward task, but in others, quite difficult. The most obvious difficulty was how to categorise the articles. I have tried to group them in fairly recognisable ‘headings’ but appreciate that it is a subjective choice and others might spring immediately to the reader’s mind.

In the early days TTG was very much of a newsletter and there were few articles, as we would define them. This meant there have been many ‘snippets’, some recordable and others not. Then there have been our regular Letter from America ‘scribes’, whose contributions have been invaluable, Joe Murdoch, Leo Kelly, Pete Georgiady, and Dan Bagdade. Their pieces have always been immensely readable but not necessarily categorisable. And, of course, one of the pillars of TTG - Dick Durran. I suppose I could have listed every book he has reviewed but then we would have run out of paper. Suffice it to say that although these gentlemen’s names do not necessarily appear in the index, their efforts on our behalf have been immense, and I would only say that their articles are well worth a second read.

For some reason, the pages in the September and December 1990 issues were not numbered hence the ‘blanks’ in the index.

I have listed those golfing fixtures where we have been invited to participate in Clubs’ centenary celebrations or to play a match in order to record the scope of our activities, although the regular society fixtures have been ignored to avoid repetition.

Finally, a word of thanks to all contributors. Without your interest and efforts we would not have a magazine.

Alan Jackson
