Golfing weather?

Well i was wrong about the weather.

Rain again.

Had planed to play today with an old professional friend of mine and get back on track to get this handicap lower.

Plans on hold.

The Costa is busy with golfers and their will be a lot of re arranging of tee times and money back from some of the courses.

Looking at the forecast the weekend won`t help.

Maybe i will have to go to one of the courses that has a simulator and i can have a round at St Andrews while the wind blows and it rains sideways.

Outside.

Speak soon
