Lurking by the Ladies Tee

We had quite an interesting day today. We had booked to play golf at Heritage Harbour but when Ben looked to see where the course was this morning he realised that there was another club with the same name further away. He phoned to find out which one he had booked and discovered it was the one further away and not the one he intended to book. It said it was 46 miles away. We left in plenty of time but when he put the address in the satnav it said the distance was 78 miles. We thought we had plenty of time to get there but weren't very happy at having to drive so far for a round of golf. The traffic as usual was very busy and it was quite a hair raising journey. We arrived at the course with about 15 minutes to spare.

The course turned out to be lovely. It was quiet and we were able to play on our own. It was very pretty with lots of wildlife and was green and well maintained, by far the best we have played since we came here. We thoroughly enjoyed the course and wish it was closer so we could play it again. The drive back was much quicker with less traffic. 

We stopped at a Mexican restaurant on the way back and had a mediocre meal. After a brief stop at Publix as we were passing, we arrived home at about 8.30pm.

Liz on the tee It was a lot cooler today when we got up. It was sunny but there was quite a strong breeze. By mid morning the wind had gradually subsided and by the time we arrived at River Run golf course it was very pleasant. The day gradually became warmer and by 4pm this afternoon the temperature was back up to the mid 70s.  We enjoyed the golf course. It was much tighter than other courses we played but interesting to play. Our partners today were from Michigan. We couldn't work out their relationship but Larry and Sandy seemed to play on the same course in Michigan. Larry apparently had major heart surgery 3 months ago and although his golf was disappointing for him, he managed to play 18 holes. Sandy was in a separate buggy with her friend Debbie who is recovering from having broken her ankle a year ago. She was still using a crutch and wasn't playing. Larry and Sandy's golf was mixed but they were slow. Ben spoke to the people who were playing behind us but they wer...

Our trusty 'RAV 4'  Steed The day started wet but it soon cleared and from 10am it has been a lovely sunny day. We had been told that the Roser church next door to us was having it's monthly breakfast so we decided to go and try it. The church has a very large footprint and was apparently set up as the first one on the island prior to any bridges being built. Because of this it elected to be non-denominational and welcomes people of any religion. The breakfast consisted of 2 pancakes, sausages, butter and syrup and we could have had biscuits and gravy as well! This afternoon Ben did some more fishing and I went for a walk on the beach. It consisted of beautiful white sand with a few people enjoying the sun and sea. I was out for about 2 hours and finally found my way back to the condo. Ben was reasonably successful with his fishing and added his catches to the next door neighbour's net to use as bait when he goes off fishing on his boat. This evening we were eating up t...
