"It was through these games that Beckett became the only Nobel Prize winner
to be included in the pages of the cricketers' bible, _Wisden_."
And: "Mostly playing with a handicap of seven, he represented the college
[Trinity, Scottie's school I believe] at golf. He also joined the
Carrickmines Golf Club as a student member .... At night, when he could not
sleep, even many years later in France, he would play over again in his mind
all the holes on the pretty bracken and heather course."
Love the last sentence of yours above. (Have you read Beckett's _prose_?)
