Day 274 - Almost....

The morning was spent working on the Captains' Report - a summary of Diana's and my year to date for inclusion in the Burhill renewal letters for 2016: almost there...

Our last full day together here: tomorrow Paul and Caroline head off to the Cayman Islands for a week's diving, I return to the UK and Kathryn spends a bit more time here before continuing across the States to spend Thanksgiving with her mother and sisters in Los Angeles.

So we decide to spend some time together... wrong!  The youngsters head off for a brunch à deux, Kathryn has a Board Meeting and lunch here (she runs the University Park Women's Club Newsletter) and I am playing golf.

The signature par 3 Hole 5 at UP
(I was 10" away...)

The format of the game was a bit more testing today: teams of four with, on each hole, the best gross score to be added to the two other best nett scores... a bit of a challenge when a number of you mess up a hole!  In addition, there were the usual Skins and Nearest the Pin Flags as well.  One of my team played a blinder, shooting 7 over par, whilst I was at best mediocre and the other two were struggling a bit... so we did not do well!

In fact our team was in last place and scored The Clap (a very brief round of applause..) - something I have not achieved very often in my time at UPCC!  Fortunately (for me) my shots on the 5th and 7th were good enough to win the Flag, thus netting me $10, which nicely counter-balanced my stake of the same amount.
