It was a much brighter, but breezier day as we set out on the Hunting course, where the Senior pros had just played a couple of weeks ago. The course was in great condition and is much better than the Priestman - each hole is different - almost Augusta-like in places.
The wind was to take its toll on the scores, however - I was the only one to cross the respectability threshold with 31 points. JD was next best with 27, but the overall average was 7 strokes per person worse than Saturday.
We also had our first casualties of the weekend - Bill stumbled round 10 holes before walking off complaining of gripe and a dose of the s...s. Jas ran in to difficulty too at the 10th hole - but this time it was mechanical, due to operator error:
We did have time for a prize-giving this time, so Saturday's and Sunday's winners exchanged balls, with Syd appearing to look on longingly:
Archie and Dan took the NP prizes and Syd got the longest drive. We then had some time to kill before sitting down to an early pre-World Cup final dinner, so a few of us formed an escape committee and sloped off to the local pub for a couple of decent ales. We'd been to the Traveler's Rest the last time we were down and enjoyed it then, so we gave it another whirl:
Dinner next - and we had a rectangular table with a view of the TV for those who wanted to watch the Spain - Holland match. After dinner, we moved a bit closer to the TV for extra time, but it was already getting too late for some:
Dan had his automatic sensors on - he just managed to open his eyes in time:
Final over and time for a nightcap, we were served by a very well mannered waiter:
So the leader board after 2 days showed:
- Me - 66
- John - 64
- Syd - 58
All to play for on the final day.
