The games we play
Well, golf, actually.
Being optimistic but also somewhat short-sighted and naive, I put my name down to play golf with the ladies today, assuming I would wake to cloudless blue skies and warm sunshine.
No.
Foggy, damp and dull. But unfortunately, I was committed (should have been too, by the men in white coats!) so off I drove.
The course is so wet that a new stream has appeared on the first fairway. Naturally our balls ended in it, so my partner and I didn’t score brilliantly. Didn’t score at all, actually.
After eight holes we’d had enough so went into the Bunker’s Bar for coffee and warmth. That was much better.
Next week we’re playing with the men’s section, but I’m slightly worried. We have to carry our clubs at the moment, due to the state of the course, and I haven’t managed to carry for all eighteen holes yet. In fact, I haven’t managed more than nine…
Oh well. Perhaps next Thursday will be cloudless blue skies and warm sunshine.
