Day 286 - Legit

A blustery, blowy, winter's day today - relatively mild, but not a great day to be out on the golf course (some of the holes into the wind will have been playing l o n g!). Instead, we headed for Kingston this morning. Traffic was light but there was still a (pre-Xmas?) queue for parking and it was a bit of a struggle to squeeze the Tesla into the British parking spaces...  We went into the jeweller'' to pick up my wedding ring, which I had to have repaired after it was cut off my finger when I sprained my hand earlier in the year: I am now legit again!

After lunch, I accompanied the Lady Captain to a local shop to select a gift for an exiting Committee member: now I just hope that it's ready in time...

Thence to the Golf Club: today is Head Pro Mike's last day at Burhill and I wanted to go to shake his hand to say thanks. Together with Tom, one of the other Pros there, we had fun walking around some of the Club's facilities - both remembering what had been here 10+ years when Mike first joined and also exploring the exciting new teaching and fitting studio which is under construction and should be ready early next year.

After that I sat down for coffee/tea with Adrian who has recently been nominated for the role of Vice Captain in 2016/17.  We spent an hour or so just exchanging thoughts and experiences - during the course of which I was trying to avoid the T20 cricket being played out on the TV as I was taping it at home... I failed....but I did enjoy the final Super Over which saw England just scrape home...
