Phew what a scorcher

C'mon you'd have been disappointed if I hadn't called it that.

Anyway, Friday's Amblers Golf Day was a fantastic day, great company, good food and superb golf. Three Birdies on the back nine with two missed birdie puts gave me a total of 40 Stableford Points, with two holes that I didn't score on I was very very pleased indeed.

It was good enough to give me 2nd place overall, but having won the "Longest Drive" up the 10th into a rather hefty wind and also the "Nearest the pin with 2nd shot" on the 14th and also being a member of the 2nd placed team it seemed fair enough that the organisers changed the prize. But 12 cans of Fosters and a bottle of Wine was a good days work.

The round culminated in me unleashing another monsterous drive on the 18th, ending up pin high just to left of the bunker, according to the scorecard a drive of some 377 yards. A good up and down and another birdie, happy days.

Having also driven to pin high on the 14th* and 15th (* hence the reason I was closest with my 2nd shot, I was putting) it seems that my driver has changed my game almost immeasurably. Not bad for a Donnay driver from Sports Soccer which in their neverending sale set me back £5.77 or something along those lines. Great Stuff.


Not so great was England's perfomance in their World Cup opener against Paraguay, we edged the South Americans out courtesy of an early own goal and although looked comfortable enough in the first half, finished the game very nervously, not helped by the withdrawal of Owen and the introduction of Hargreaves.

A better performance is a must as we look to take advantage of Sweden's inability to score against Trinidad and Tobago by taking on the Caribbean islanders on Thursday.
