What a treat to play a classic links course Kev, and I see that despite your misgivings about the WHS it appears to have worked here!

Ralph it's 8pm and I'm still buzzing having played it. Having a forecaddy was a massive help.

I spoke to our club regarding getting penalised on my own course and was told to adjust it as my handicap was attained there.

So all good.

Special day number 2 with my son Callum. World ranked no. 29, Ballybunion golf club. Got round in one piece thanks to forecaddy Padraig. What an experience, very challenging but what a day.

I'm doing fine thanks Doobs, although I have to wait until a fortnight ago before I can play golf.

Glad you see you got through your setback.  Hope you are still ok Tom, and the recovery hasn't gone astray?  How long before you are allowed on the golf course again, officially or otherwise? 

Just a quick quarterly update.  I have now crept above 85kg, but have stayed around that level.  Some days I am above, some below.  This morning I was above, but was away at a wedding at the end of last week, and it is near impossible to not put on weight with free food and booze.  Will try and get below 85 again sometime this week.

The other big thing is I am now on 8 parkruns for the year.  I missed my PB by 3 seconds last week, so should get that soon.  There is some uncertainty as the course is changing next week.  It will have less hills, but more grass.  Think it should be quicker, as it will also be a bit warmer.  Think the best temperature for me is about 15 degrees, and haven't got there yet.  Just need to get my pacing right and not hit a wall at 4km. 

Finally, I decided to try and run 1km each day on average.  Was on 99km after 101 days after Saturday, so am pretty much on top of it.

Special day of golf with my son Callum. Playing the stunningly picturesque Mahoney's Point golf course in Killarney. Cal shot his best ever score of 71 (gross) on the par 72 course.
