Hi, everybody at Llanwern GC, Day one, practice day at the fantastic Blairgowrie Rosemount Course. The European team under the Captaincy of Iain Ross had an 18 hole match play game. Playing with Stian Halvorsen from Norway we had a great game v Ellie Perks (England) and the Captain. A Halved match was a fair result but will need to play a bit better at Gleneagles tomorrow. The Rosemount course has greens like Llanwern - read the line, think you’ve got it and then somehow it’s directly behind the hole, but hasn’t gone in!! Think I should have known but no! Blairgowrie is a beautiful tree-lined course, home to tour pro Bradley Neal. The practice round has given us a cheeky advantage comes singles day on Friday! So a night of relaxation and welcome drinks (maybe 1 or 2!) before the competition starts in earnest. Just a quick thanks to Julian Sansom, Steve Truman and all the members of Llanwern GC for all your kind comments and best wishes you’ve given me for this week. ~Sav |
