PIC 1.
I was lying awake @ 3.30 am, feeling slightly jittery about the impending 150 mile drive into the badlands in search of Portstewart - I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep so I just lay there waiting for 5.30 to come - next thing I know it's 6.10 - I slept it !! - the more eagle eyed among you will notice the dashboard needs a polishing

PIC 2
IG's approach shot to the 1st and my 1st ever golf pic - he left it short in a sandy grave, but did splash out to about 5 feet
PIC3
KA's pitch and run to the 1st. The dude has hands as soft as cotton, a born and bred links shot maker - this like most of these shots it ran to a holeable range about 8 feet away .. as he said himself it was the putting that was the problem

PIC 4
A sign of things to come

, the result of my 9 iron 178 yard (I thinK) tee shot to the 2nd, there was a slight breeze off our right shoulder

... the putt ? nah missed it
More to come
