Another beautiful morning and this time on our two favourite courses Yellow and Green (Blue was just hard!)
Two new teams and new challenges. Having had a day off we were keen to get back out and by now we didn't really have any excuses for our less than best play!...Oh Well!
This first hole was long with a difficult dogleg to the right and down a hill into the ditch or up into gunge on the other side before trying to get up over or through trees onto the green
Here are the first team approaching the second tee as we were coming down on our dogleg bit! Unbeknown to Avril she was the "Chosen One"! I had given her a different kind of tee to try...one bought in Canada........ and she set up for the second time. This particular hole was a par 3 with Tee set up high with a big dip and the green was also high up on the other side.
I wasn't able to get close enough for a pic but believe me Avril's expression was one of complete disbelief. She hit a lovely tee shot. There was no sound, just a large puff of white stuff. She looked across at me with great consternation. "What on earth!!!!!I don't understand that" she said looking straight at me, it worked beautifully the last time!!!!!! She was really so surprised and I couldn't let her think something had gone wrong!!! I had to give her a hug and admit what I had done. Needless to say she took it all in good part........BUT she has promised to get me back! I was very careful with my Sangria later on!!!!
This is a similar pack on Amazon?
Of course it had been the intention to have 2 joke balls consecutively ( 1 in each team) so that all could see but the course was busy and we needed to keep moving on.
This was another short par 3 and Kathryn "volunteered" to try out ball number 2 as we were well in front of the folks behind. This one had a very pretty jetstream ribbon and didn't go very far. Needless to say neither of the players were penalised for those shots and were able to carry on as normal! Mmmmm
There were lots of pretty birds around but I never managed to get my camera out in time except for the non-moving heron! Funnily enough we hardly heard any birdsong?
Pre dinner drinks.
The Sangria was really rather good.............don't ever remember enjoying it so much in the past!!
Post Dinner
Drinks, coffees, and liqueurs..........rediscovered my love for Sambucca! We didn't do very well in the "Pointless" quiz that night. I wonder why?
