Instead, it was a day for some Disorganised Golf: on this occasion it was Alan, David, Xenos and I who lined up on the first tee of the New Course. Balls were thrown in the air and it was Alan and I against the other two. Yes, there was some wind out there, but the conditions of the course were excellent - not just the greens, which are spectacular, but the fairways too. The temperature too played its part - at one point, it was positively mild.
No excuses then for not playing well... And on this occasion, Alan and I did exactly that: we mixed and matched effectively (always a killer in the 4BBB format) and managed a win by 3&2. The match itself was played in great spirits and a good time was had by all: exactly what DOGS golf should be!As I returned to my car, I noticed that the new sign is up in the car park: strange that nobody asked me what I thought though as I always prefer the inclusion of my second initial, to differentiate myself from brother Matthew. And I shall not repeat the Lady Captain's views on her "Ms" designation...
Back in the Clubhouse and we switched on to the Davis Cup Final. I don't think that we were the cause, but the young Englishmen playing his debut seemed to have everything under control until we tuned in, after which it all rather petered away... Fortunately, in the second match, the man from Dumblane put things back on track...
A long FaceTime chat with Mrs L in California - how good a technological breakthrough is that: video on the screen from across the world at zero cost! Then it was time to watch the Sky+ of the second T20 against Pakistan. Wow... great drama... and we just snuck through....
