Day 89 - Twilight

One of the treats of membership at Burhill is the opportunity to play some early evening golf. This clearly only works in the summer months when it is guaranteed to be light enough... and should be warmer too.

In particular, once a month, the Social Committee organise a Twilight Golf and Supper evening. The format is always the same: 9 holes of Golf followed by a themed meal. 

The golf is played as Mixed Greensomes (so both players drive, then choose the better of the two after which shots are alternated into the hole.) And the first shots are off the yellow tees, so there are no excuses at all...

This evening's meal was French themed and the food was delicious. Chicken Chasseur followed by a Tarte Tatin is hard to beat!  We could have done without the reverberations from below, where some lucky 18 year-old was celebrating his or her birthday, but this didn't spoil the enjoyment and it was a fun evening.

I wasn't able to play the golf but was ably deputised by my 7-handicap son. We then swapped over again at the meal so that I was also there for the Prize Giving.   Afterwards it was straight home to bed for an early start the next morning...
