Whit! It's not supposed to be this!!!!!

 "Whit"!!!!!! says Avril. " Where did this come from"? Here we are at the dreaded 11th tee. The wind is howling around us   and the gale is blowing from right to left! Today we are two  new teams. Of course we are friends but!!!!!!.......... don't you believe it..........the mantra is ............we are going to win today!!!!!

We had already played the  "Verde" course which was OK and here we are on the dreaded "Azul"!!!! Not even Dexter could emerge from this hazard  because he would be drowning with the weight of all the balls deposited here! We each changed our balls to the one which we      didn't care if we lost!!!!!

It is only 129m to the pin but the wind is in our faces and I am having difficulty standing up as the water  is running down the legs and filling up my shoes .......and...... I am being blown about!!!!!!

Today has been so much better for me. Whilst not in the trees, and only at the beach once,  I drive off and lo and behold I am on the green and it looks  relatively near the pin. Mind you I  could  be completely wrong as can't see a blooming thing out of my specs. Windscreen wipers not working!

As the one with the camera I enjoy  taking the pics but my Muckhart Senoritas insisted that I post pics of myself  in all my dishevelled glory! Hence  noting I have need of a hairdresser....it didn't occur to me to bring my rainhat! It is warm though! Yeeeeees! We didn't discover till end of the 18 holes that our opposition ........Jan, Eileen, Ann and Kathryn had abandoned ship and bailed out at the 11th!!!

Today's excuses!

"The water has swollen my hand"!
"My tee is not working"!
"It is not a bloomin" pond ....it is an ocean"!

No this is not a pic of three inmates at an institutional outing. For our evening's entertainment  Avril came up with the game. We each had  a name posted on our hats and we had to guess who we were!  Funnily enough I did guess who I was.......David Cameron!!! Mmmmmm need I take the hint  that I am perhaps a bit bossy?  Jan successfully worked out she was Keith Salmoni, June was  Tony Bennet and Eileen, Lady Gaga, Kathryn, Peter Pan, Ann, Sir Bradley Wiggans and due to the late hour.........I've forgotten Avril  and Helen! Sorry girls!!!

The pattern has been established we play 18 holes, in the clubhouse for  Sangria and toasties, time out on our own and the pre dinner drinks in someone's suite!

As a group we are learning a little more about each other  and there is much laughter and good fun!  I'm sure that is nothing to do with the large liqueures we have with our coffee after dinner!  By the way, mine is a sambucca! Tomorrow is a day off from the courses and we are off to Seville!!! Who knows what might happen tomorrow? The carrot is the leather handbag shops in the old jewish quarter.
