Lazy start to the day - which was fine as we watched the rain front move through to leave us with sunshine and few clouds for the time when we were due to tee off for the final social golf event of the summer season: the Super Twilight. This year it was to be a 4BBB format game and I was paired with Tricia, whilst her husband partnered Kathryn.
We set off from the 9th tee and had a splendid game: the group behind us were slower than we were and we had nobody in front of us, so it was just as if we had the course to ourselves. We played pretty well, which by definition meant that we played quickly as well. Both pairs had some great holes: I managed to hole two birdie putts on the par threes, whilst Bryan managed the same on two of the par 4s. As ever, there were a couple of holes that we felt we had left some shots behind, but we still both came in with a very respectable 41 points - but would that be good enough?
As it turned out, we had a long time to wait to find out: it was quite a while before everyone was in and then it took quite a while for all the cars to be validated, for there were lots of good scores out there. Clearly the fact that we had played off the yellow tees with a favourable wind had helped others too!
After the golf it was time for supper - and what a spread we had on offer! There was a very generous buffet salad table to start with, followed by an excellent beef/gammon/turkey carvery and then, as if anyone had any room left, a wonderful cold dessert spread too. By the time we got to the coffee and the prize giving, you could tell that everyone had eaten well!
The only downer on the day was the flat tyre we picked up on the way home.... but that's a problem for tomorrow!
