Almost every time I open a Laughing Cow triangle I'm amazed by its fantastic design. Maybe there is hope for humankind. Usually it's first thing in the morning and shortly thereafter I open the newspaper and then all hope is dashed.

What a wonderful afternoon we had at Pitlochry Golf!! Such a fabulous FUN course! Gary, the pro, showed us around & showed us how the game should be played. Not that we learned. Mike & I finished all square so the series was tied 2.5 - 2.5.

Yes, visiting The Isle Of Man a little bit like being in an episode of Life On Mars, but as per the show, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I have a show tonight at The Gaiety, just along from the Norman Wisdom statue. villagaiety.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

Fabulous day, today, at Carlow Golf Club. Photos do not do it justice. Mostly I'm unmoved by parkland golf. Not at Carlow! It plays closer to a heathland course, but no heather... Brilliant routing on fantastic terrain. Feel very lucky to have experienced Carlow. Also, I won.
