A Round of Golf in Weymouth

Following our excursion to London, it was off back to Weymouth to Auntie Shirley’s house. Sonia would have to stay behind as she was back to work so it was Sid, the three kids and I road tripping back south. Julie and Brad arrived within five minutes of us on the train. They had seen the play “Blood Brothers” the night before in London and fully enjoyed it. I believe it was the first time that they were both away from their kids! Poor Shirley had cleaned her house while we were away but all of a sudden she was inundated again, although by only seven of us this time.

Tired Londoners:

The boys decided to try our hand at a round of par 3 golf. Matthew had never gone before and Brad maybe twice or three times. Thankfully the course we went to was a pretty forgiving one with few trees, perfect for newbies. Surprisingly we actually found a few more balls than we lost. A highlight was me hitting the pin on the 8th hole for a possible birdie but it didn’t go in. Sid, having paid attention, eyed up his chip and put it in! Jazzed by this, he got the only par of the day on the last hole and beat me by two strokes. Twas a fun, albeit slow, round.
