Day 117 - British Beef

Lots of golf today! In the morning was playing in a vets match against the RAC at Burhill. I hadn't played in the Away leg (which we had lost badly) so was keen to do my bit for the eam. As it turned out one of our opponents was feeling a bit under the weather and his game was decidedly off, so that the poor other guy, who played really well, simply wasn't able to carry his side in the better ball format.  We won our match 3&2 and the team triumphed by 1 point.

My heart groaned inwardly when I was told that the lunch was a(nother) carvery... but I needn't have worried. The beef was simply the best that I have ever had at Burhill, succulent and cooked medium rare just the way I like it.

I was due to play again in the late afternoon so decided did not have much time to change out of my jacket and tie and back into golfing gear. This was for the June Twilight Golf and Supper. The weather forecasters had been warning of some Armageddon-like torrential rain during the day, most likely in the evening, so it was with some trepidation that we teed off at 6 pm.  We needn't have worried: there was a small shower as we finished and that was it, though it was humid and warm throughout.

This absence of rain and wind did not help our golf though and neither of our pairs were going to finish in the winners' circle.  The theme of the Twilight was "British" and a dinner of beef had been advertised: not really what I wanted again. So, it was with joy, that I was served my salmon en croute and Eton Mess for dessert. A second excellent meal at Burhill... could this be the start of a trend?
