Of course the golf was blooming brilliant, mediocre, duff??????

 Early morning sunrise from bedroom balcony and no.......the pool is not beckoning me!  Slight chill in the air and wind blowing a bit more than gently!

After a very hearty breakfast........great selection to suit all palates..........we checked in at the pro shop and picked up our clubs as well as our electric trolleys..........easy so far! A great big warm welcoming smile from our spanish professionals. Hola and Buenos dias from two very handsome young spaniards certainly brought smiles to our faces!

 

 With grins up front and full of joie de vivre ....or something.........we approached the first tee on course Azul. We were on the blue and yellow today! Now it would be very wrong of me to say the excuses were already being thought up............suffice to say a number of statements throughout the day might suggest that we were not exactly on top form!

Team One teed off first whilst Avril posed behind us setting the "standard " for Team Two!

The courses are indeed in a very pretty setting and blue skies were the order of the day.

After 2 holes.....

" We've had 2 holes and I haven't hit a ball yet!    "My trolley ain't working!" "My GPS doesn't seem to be accurate"!

And all this  before we reached the first real hazard. Three of us very successfully managed to deposit balls in the first water hazard. Pebble Beach eat your heart out!

Indeed....mi pelota en los matajos .......began to trip off the tongue quite easily! Of course there were some cracking shots but "And for my next trick" surfaced on a number of occasions!
