Day 111 - Why Nelson?

Typing in the title of this blog posting led to my looking up as to why on earth the cricket score 111 is referred to as a Nelson.  Wikipedia was very little help, other than to highlight the fact that nobody else seems to know why either...

I have never heard the same terminology used in Golf...but then I guess anyone returning a score of 111 would probably prefer to keep it quiet.

I certainly didn't score that many today: I was at the Club bright and early for a game that been organised by the Club to help some new members in their integration into Burhill. I was very impressed with the group and am sure that they will fit into the Club well.

This was a great initiative and it was fun to see the course through the eyes of people playing it, in one case, for the very first time. We played the Old Course and with the sun shining, it looked spectacular. 

It was very noticeable how the fact that I know the holes well gives me a real advantage, even against the better golfer: reading the greens and knowing how to approach them must be worth a few shots every time!
