Day 195 - US Open

After a number of days of consecutive golfing, today was one for taking a break from the course.  Accordingly, I took the opportunity of going up to London to meet a former colleague for lunch. Another day of déjà vu all over again - memories came flooding back as I took the train to Clapham Junction and on to Victoria and the Zizzi restaurant to be found in Cardinal Place. How I miss this journey... not!

A good chat over lunch: amazing how so many of the issues are just the same, albeit with a few different actors; on departure, I wished Jim every success but was glad that it was he rather than I who was tasked with addressing them!

Then back to the Club to sit down with Mike to do the draws for the Autumn Knockout competitions.  These days, the work is not in actually doing the draw: this involves just a few keystrokes on the computer, bu rather in cutting and pasting (literally!) the printouts into something vaguely coherent to put up for general viewing.  The Men's competition has so many entrants that getting everything onto one sheet just wasn't possible.

Back home to watch some of the US Open tennis. Not sure that I shall be staying up for Andy Murray's match in the early hours of tomorrow morning though...
