In fairness,the guy he was playing had 7 birdies in 12 holes .

GetInTheHole!

Fair balls to him.

Would be good to hear an account of it all when he gets back!

Benny Cake

Fair dues to him, great to have a golfer of his ability & experience contributing on boards...

Thanks for the support guys, and jul3s, hope ur enjoying working at home in the cold weather, my main worry is keeping enough suncream on....

Incredible standard out here, I didn't play great all week to be honest, really struggled in the heat, was 40deg first day, 35 2nd day and same yest, very difficult to stay focused. But still have 3 more tournaments to go before we go home on 12 feb. Off to centre court in that should ease the pain.......

If anyone does have questions il gladly answer them here no probs

Off to centre court in the tennis tomorrow courtesy of a world class golfer with a tennis pro girlfriend making a few calls for us so that should ease the pain.......

Hope you adapt to the heat - now I remember why I stay in Ireland.

Yea, I was just being smart. Funny how golfers and tennis players go so well together

Even at amateur level. I play golf and my girlfriend plays tennis.

We're both ****e but we're happy.

What courses are you playing out there Gorfield? Best of luck with the rest of it by the way.

Aesop

Yeah Gorfield would be interested to hear about the courses you are playing. How would you rate them? How would you rate them to similar courses back home?

Is there any website we can follow your progress/see the results?

Best of luck with the remaining competitions.

You've just described my worst nightmare, playing golf in savage heat is brutal, anyway I hope you adjust to the conditions somewhat and redeem yourself in your upcoming tournaments.
Glad to hear you're meeting up with a world class golfer tomorrow, you'll be able to see up close how one should conduct oneself, also you'll be able to discuss the merits of the congu handicapping system and find out what it was like for him when he had to shoot 9 under just to avoid a .1 and how he'd have to shoot 15 under to win a club comp these days:rolleyes:.
Best of luck and enjoy the rest of your baking hot holiday.

Sounds like you're living the dream at the moment Gorfield. Personally, I'd love to be at the level where I would now be worrying what factor to put on, and what tennis match to watch.

Best of luck, and enjoy it!!

Lot of the auld skull must be burnt gorfield
Does it cause extra smoke to come out of your ears ??

Maybe Rors could do you another favour and supply you with the phone no. of the guy who topped up Rooneys bulb !!

Enjoy the golf and weather .... Just jealous here & good luck
