After a busy couple of days of London touring, and getting Karen off to her adventure, it was time to experience some golfing in the UK. Phil and Randy went to his club, no hats in the bar mind you, to play 18. It was a great experience as it is a difficult course, with a lot of 425 yard par 4's and wet conditions. It was flat and long, with very interesting design features. I was thankful the wind wasn't blowing. The old boys don't have the power they once had and we would tell you our scores, but then we would have to shoot you. On hole 15, a character out of a Scottish movie poked his head over the fence and started tossing about 30 golf balls our way. He walks the course in the evening and gives the balls to unsuspecting tourists. He had a strong accent and as Phil said, "I couldn't understand a word he said except that he wanted to give us free golf balls" The locals were really friendly, and of course they already know Phil by name.
