My Tuesday group of Disorganised Golfers was up for the game today: we had a total of 10 keen to play on what looked like being a half-decent day, as far as the weather was concerned. Balls were thrown in the air and we were split up into two 3s and a 4-ball. I was in the first group of three, together with Xenos and Steve.
The weather forecast had been accurate and by the 5th hole we were playing in glorious sunshine, down to short sleeves for the rest of the game - not bad in the second half of October! Our threesome played at a fair old lick, completing the round in 3hrs and 15 mins. The group behind us were right on our tails, but the last four-ball were clearly taking things far too seriously; in the end, it was almost an hour before they finally came in, but at least we able to sit out on the terrace and solve the world's problems in the sunshine whilst waiting. Scores were duly added up, reconciled and audited - and on this occasion, our score of 77 (plus 6 for only having three of us) was just enough to be victorious... not that anybody was really too bothered!
Before heading out to golf, I had had a number of errands to carry out: collect fresh bread, treat myself to a new winter coat (yup, back to
Weir Rhodes in Guildford!) and a visit to the hygienist (never a favourite!).
After golf, it was a case of rushing home for a speedy turn around: we had a Men's Committee meeting at the Club at 7 pm, which I needed to be back for. Fortunately, Kathryn had a speedy dinner planned (the best swordfish I have ever eaten in the UK!) which worked out perfectly. The meeting itself took longer than normal: we had a few issues that need time to explore, a number of them about changes to next year's calendar being proposed by the Vice Captain, who is in charge of the 2016 diary. I think by the end everybody was content with what we agreed...but that's next year's Captain's problem!
