At Kingsbarns

Kingsbarns a great great course, we played today off the green tees so a little short for the skipper and I but we were giving away 13 shots which meant there was a good chance of us losing.
Here is the skipper playing over the sea at the par 3 15th in a very strong wind. We both got our 3's but it was tough.

Trip to South Africa

I am off to South Africa tomorrow with a group of golfers who gather every year in remembrance of a good friend who passed away.  We play a Northern Hemisphere vs. Southern Hemisphere golf match over four days.

This year the tour returns to South Africa and the games will be at Fancourt, all three courses and at Oubaai, an Ernie Els design which is not far from George.

This will be my first time at Fancourt and I am really excited. Our hosts have houses there so I expect we will be well looked after.  Anybody played the links at Fancourt? I am told it is an excellent golf venue and all the golfers are low single golfers so I think it will be competitive.

New clubs in my bag - Mizuno MP 59's and a razor driver.  Here's hoping I can hit them like they feel.  Will keep you posted with photos.

Day out at Gleneagles

Gleneagles

A day out for the Links Club boss, his wife Nikki and daughter Sophie.   Out at the Dormy House at Gleneagles for a Saturday lunch before Sophie travelled back home to London.

The food was great and we met up with some old clients from London and also some fellow members. When the sun shines we all come out to play. The weather was fabulous and we had a great view out on to the 18th of both the Kings and the Queens.

The sign showed the way to the courses but as we stood here we could see a sign of our own and that was the clouds gathering...literally....moving slowly up from the south east.

You can see in this picture the clouds gathering...about half an hour after we left, the course was flooded and also the very same Dormy house we were in was also struggling with a flood in the bag store, such was the ferocity of the down pour.
