Another good golf day

Today's golf was at Heritage Harbour where we played at last year. I think I probably played it better last year, but Ben had a good round. The course has apparently changed as the owners have sold land for housebuilding. We didn't really notice any difference although Ben doesn't recall there being 4 par 3s on the back 9. The course wends its way between the houses, some of which were very opulent.  Its condition was better than others we have played with lightning fast greens which made putting difficult. There were long distances between holes and it would be impractical to play without a buggy.  We played on our own but had to wait on every tee as there was a 4 ball in front of us.

The weather was humid but sunny and a lot better than your getting in England.




Pelicans galore

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...
