My trophy winning form soon deserted me and my handicap even crept up by 0.2 last week.  After the first nine holes yesterday in my last Dryades competition of the season it seemed that a repeat performance was on the cards, but I rallied on the back nine and turned in a respectable score that at least staved off a further deterioration.

And I came home with two bottles of champagne and admired a lovely new moon so the day was not entirely wasted.


                  I hope the SG4L competition at Vézac this week brings me something nice to go with the champagne.
