Another go at the golf

It is not the only thing we do you understand; we've taken to cycling around the place as well. Also on another front during this trip we have painted the kitchen walls and the landing and this brings us closer to finishing all the tasks we set for ourselves when we took possession of the house last December.

Anyway back to the golf; a 9.50 tee time seemed more conducive to my play although Anika did not likeher score for the round. For me, at least, I finished every hole and althogh I lost five balls I was pleased with a good number of my strokes, I achieved a par on hole 11. Thus far I have only managed to par three of the holes as opposed to making it to double figures on six of them. Another plus for the round was that none of my scores exceded previous worse scores on any hole!

A round of golf and a discovery

16.20 was tee off time (depart?)for the two of us at Golf de la Pree just 2km down the road. Although the reported temperature touched 27C the breeze from the bay made it very pleasant to play. My own game was a bit hit and miss, literally as well as figurativley, and I faded badly (again) on the back nine - not recording a score for 10, 17, or 18. !8 was a bit annoying as I drove into the huge fairway bunker on the right and it took me three goes to get out and then my "recovery" approach shot ended up in the nightmare greenside bunker and after three more goes of failing to get out I gave it up.

And now for the discovery, in searching for a take out pizza we came across a bar / tex-mex cafe in Nieul sur Mer. we might well give it a try sometime soon. we reckon that it is about 4km from us so we are figuring if it is within reach of our new mode of transport - the bicycles.
