A Letter from Chris Tickner
As part of our 75th Anniversary Camden Golf Club book that a small group of members is currently researching (we still have about 3 years to complete this task), I recently got in contact with past Golf Professional at our club, Chris Tickner. Chris now lives in Kew, near Port Macquarie and continues to coach golf at the age of 72. He is a Camden boy at heart having gone to school at Camden Primary, Camden High School and then into a traineeship here at our club. He was one of Australia's greatest ever ball strikers (up there with the Shark, Crampton, Devlin, Shearer, Scott etc). Even though the attached information will be in our book, I felt it was such a lovely recollection from a man that many older members would consider was amongst the most influential figures in our history, that I have included the letter in this edition of Golfing News.
In my letter to Chris, and his wife Pat, I asked a series of questions about his life, career, and family. (The questions are not included - the responses make the question clear):
