Today has been a day of little miracles.

Miracle number one was a beautiful birdie at the fifth involving a magnificent nine iron shot over the top of a twenty metre high oak tree landing one metre from the pin.

Miracle number two was a classic birdie at the sixteenth where a 170 metre tee shot over the water to the edge of the green at flag level was followed by a five metre putt straight into the hole.

Miracle number three was finding another gîte available for my Spanish chums to spend a second week in the Creuse. It’s 50 kilometres nearer Spain as well which will help when they set out for home.
