Day 100 - Cheers!

18th hole back to the Club House

Our Disorganised Golfers Group were super organised today!  We were aware that Burhill was going to be busy: the New Course had a practice day for the upcoming EuroPro event and the Ladies had a competition on the Old Course. Accordingly, we (I) had done a bit of pre-planning and had arranged to take advantage of the aforementioned Surrey Country Card scheme to procure ourselves a tee time at the North Hants. Golf Club (which just to confuse everyone, is not in Northants.!).

North Hants is a typical Surrey parkland course - heather, trees, bunkers and a South West Trains line down the side of the course all sound very familiar. One of the special things about this course is though that it is where Justin Rose learned to  play the game. They even have a special Justin Rose Room with details of his first US Open Championship win, but we were unable to see it as there was a group in there for the next hour....This gave us more time in the sunshine on the terrace for another drink - and I made sure that we toasted my first 100 days as Captain!

Home for dinner: my turn at the stove. I again turned to the Lindsey Bareham suppers recipes in The Times and came across a spring lamb, with spring onions and fresh herbs... and delicious it was too! Definitely a keeper and so easy too: cradle to grave in 45 minutes...
