Golf - Sunday 1st November 2009

It was a pleasure to be out on the course today - blue sky and sunshine and the course in great condition. We had wonderful company, playing with Nigel and Sheena Asken and had lots of laughs along the way. Nigel was our star player. Peter's excuse was that he did not get to eat his sandwich at the half way mark. It is alleged that one Jim Forrester had absconded with Peter's sandwich, thinking that Carmen had left it in the fridge at the Pro Shop for him. I am not sure what excuse Sheena and I had but we enjoyed the day anyway & pity about the golf.
