Day 130 - Effingham and Cheeseandham

Friday and one of the few days in the year when both the courses at the Club were unavailable this morning due to a large corporate golf day (today it was Berkeley Homes' turn...). There was though an upside to this inconvenience as the Head Pro had arranged for members to be granted courtesy rounds at a number of other local golf courses.  I had put my hand up for a morning start at Effingham Golf Club.

This is why I found myself on the tee there just before 9 o'clock this morning. I had arranged a fourball with fellow members Chris, Brian and Jon.  In time honoured fashion, the balls were thrown in the air and it turned out to be Captain & Former Captain vs the rest.  We ended up having a great game. By the time we got to the Half-way Hut (excellent sausage sandwiches!) the game was evenly poised.  After that Chris and I established a three hole lead only for it to be reined in gradually until we halved the match on the final green.  Excellent stuff!

By then the sun had truly come out and it was time for beer and sandwiches on the terrace.  And there we stayed for quite a while, enjoying the pleasant weather and good company.  Back home to prepare dinner: discovered that we had a somewhat depleted refrigerator.

As a result, I was set a Masterchef type challenge: Produce a supper from these ingredients!  Well, I did and it was delicious: took this recipe and adapted it for what we had - http://www.food.com/recipe/ham-and-cheese-crepes-190683
