Day one in sunny but very windy Kernow...

Hello to you all...Will here.

I have just returned from my first day of my golfing marathon. We aere at Whitsand Bay Golf Club in Cornwall...the weather forecasters were proved correct in that there were high winds due! Today I played with Chris Mogg, Andrew Fraser and Matt Bettridge all good buddies of mine.

The round started with our waterproofs on as when we were enjoying our pre match cup of tea the weather couldn't quite make up its mind so preventative measures were in order...Matt and I discovered that we were actually sponsored by Dunlop as we had the same set of All weather gear...with Andrew being the butt of the joke in a flimsy Regatta Cagoole!!!

The rain came down and the wind blew at the third hole where we were struggling to keep our balls still whilst putting due to the ferocious wind!

more eventfulness at the 6th where the way the hole was positioned in conjunction with where the sea(Cliffs) were situated meant that all four of us struggled to keep our balls on terra firma! it didn't dampened our mood as the sun was now coming out!

At the turn (holes 8,9 and 10) my putting ability disappeared and I got grumpy for a while!!!happens sometime in every round of golf! But later on the 14th this grumpyness was alleviated when after a straight tee shot I managed to chip for a 2 at a par 4...the highlight of my golfing career to date...unfortunately Andrew and Chris were looking for their balls so Matt was the only one who saw!needless to say there were some ribbing at lunch as to how many ways i could have faked the shot...!

Matt was playing steady, solid golf all day. Chris was struggling off the tee and andrew at his mecurial best! All adding up to a very fun and entertaining but (most importantly) dry game of golf...a cracking course to get me on my way! however tomorrow is another day so who knows what that will bring!!!

Thanks for reading this...I will be back tomorrow with more updates!!!

Lots of love and fundraising
