The way I play golf in Florida on our home course there, is effectively in a large roll-up group (although the rolling up is all prearranged via e-mail). John is kind enough to coordinate the group's activity (John - I'll be back in November!) and he sent me this video today - a great spoof of the sort of commercial we have all seen when in the USA!
Today was a better day than of late, weather-wise, though the wind that was so much a feature of the first half of the year was back in evidence. A morning of chores: a visit to the dental hygienist (the closest thing I shall experience in my life to torture...), a doctor's appointment (to check up on recent blood test: all fine, but please reduce alcohol content) and some time spent pruning bushes in the garden.
At 12:20, I sat down to soup for lunch with Mrs Lawrence and, at 12:21, I remembered that I had a lunch engagement with Miss Lawrence... I hot-footed out of the house and managed to get there pretty much on time, only just having the time to say goodbye to my wife who is going away for a couple of days of golf with some lady friends from Burhill. A very pleasant lunch at M&S in Brooklands, which ran on for a bit longer than it should (sorry, P&G!).
The early evening, I was back at Burhill to play 9 holes of social golf with three of the guys who joined the Club at the same time that I did. We had a game of Wolf (see Day 75!) which remains an excellent way to have a bit of non-serious fun on the golf course. Drinks and supper on the Terrace required a sweater as the sun, and the temperature, started to go down.
We left the Club agreeing that we must take advantage of the few such evenings that remain this summer... next Tuesday?
