Hi Folks...me again!apologies for not blogging yesterday...was commuting for most of the day and had to pop back to the mother's house to collect a suit for my charity dinner on wednesday. Which by the way is at 7pm at Tryst Restaurant and Bar in Thames Ditton

The weather has continued to amaze me! I think whoever it is that plans the weather..(blatantly the government) is lulling me into a falso sense of security and when I get up north I'll get blown away by a hurricane...when I work out how to put photos up on this site you will be able to see for yourself!
I played Elfordleigh on Sunday, a lovely little course that uses there limited space(due to it being in a valley) very well. I had a more steady round than in Cornwall. Departments of my game never seem to work at all at the same time! My unconscious decided that It would be my tee shots on sunday. My touch around the green was better and solid on the dancefloor! unfortunately no Eagles to brag about today...just as well because if I had you blokes wouldn't believe me!there was nobody to verify it! In fact I could have been sat on a Beach in North Devon sunning myself for all you guys knew! (joking of course)!
In the Evening I went back vis mum's to pick up video camera and then made the 50 minute journey to Sherborne in preperation for Sherborne City Golf Club... I was due to play on my own however Tim Budd, who I stayed with last night was off work due to the school holidays so it was an unexpected pleasure to have his company. I know I keep going on about the weather but I really have been so lucky! Sherborne is an Interesting course... A much easier walk than Elfordleigh...with a funny yellow tint to the greens. The greens were particularly annoying as they looked like there should be a break however actually there wasn't so slightly difficult to read putts. The rest of the course was in good nick considering they have had a bad winter down there. The average age of the other people on the course must have been about 70...there was a pensioner tournament going on which we got stuck in the middle of!needless to say we to an age to get round! Again, an intresting blend of wayward tee shots and unforgiving bunkers (very well/badly placed depending on how well your round was going!) The signature hole which was the 15th was a pleasure to play. 167 yrd Par 3 playing over a gully to the green. The tee shot is very sheltered so the wind affects the ball about 40yrd into flight!Apparently I was lucky as they actually close that particular hole for the winter months and was reopened just last week!!!they knew i was coming! Fun round of golf...and on the next...I am currently at my mother's house again as the travelling time from Dorset to Wiltshire, which is my next leg, is the same as it is from Taunton to Wiltshire...Killing two birds with one stone because I can also pick Matt up from Taunton who is joining me until Buckinghamshire...by the way I am taking bets to see how much weight he loses...that does depend on if we can discover any cheap off licnece deals on our travels...moment on the lips Matty!
Anyway I will go now and relax before my journeys continue! A Bath is in order as well as a shave I think...I'm looking a bit like Tom Hanks in Cast Away...just with a golf ball intstead!
Lot of Love everyone! Please call me in the evenings!!I'm playing golf during the day!!!!
