Day 108 - 4-2-0

An early morning start for an 0830 tee off time. We arrived in plenty of time, which was great as this allowed us to get off before the Roll Up; this was just as well because the three of us clearly all liked to play at a decent lick.

We opted for a 4-2-0 game (see here for an explanation), which is by far and away the best format for a three-ball. Whist the golf was perhaps not of the highest standard (says he with a degree of British understatement), it was good fun and the fact that it only took three hours to get round the Old Course suggests that we were doing something right.

All of which meant that we were back in plenty of time for a drink on the Terrace before lunch.  And great entertainment it was too, watching some golfers on a corporate day trying to cope with the very tricky back right pin on the 18th of the New.  Isn't armchair golf easy!

Lunch today was the first such monthly date with the newly installed interim General Manager.  Very different from his predecessor, Mike is all about delivery, transparency and process. And to be honest, I think that the Club could do with a bit of this, so I am hopeful about the next few months.

Afterwards, back home to watch Murray Q-Final versus Ferrer at Roland Garros.  As ever a few ups and downs but he looks good.. now comes the tough one against Djoković...
