The present is grey...

Whilst the future may be orange, it was most definitely not a bright day out on the golf course today. The early morning conditions were almost ideal for this time of year... unfortunately the thrash draw takes place at 11:30 and the weather had turned to drizzle and heavy mist. The golf was enjoyable for the first few holes, but the rain persisted and the enjoyment factor quickly deteriorated.

The 9th green is around here somewhere

We all called it a day after 9 holes, retiring to the warmth of the clubhouse to watch Man U beat the blue half of Manchester 2-3 in the FA Cup. On reflection, what, at the time seemed like some pretty poor golf on my behalf, was in fact not all that awful, with 4 pars and a birdie in pretty grim conditions. Whilst the present golfing conditions are most certainly grey, my golfing future remains bright.
