Flog and food

Played a round of nine holes yesterday with eight other guys from the office. We had a damn good time, with Johnno hiring a cart (he's got a dodgy hip) and carrying around an esky- as well as mine and his clubs. It was a pretty dangerous game, as everyone was taking their shots at pretty much the same time, so you had to be aware of the potential to get smacked in the back of the head by a golf ball.

Played my best hole on the par 5 fourth that doglegged to the right. I hit four of the most beautiful shots of the day that went a mile. Unfortunately, they all bounced off trees and ended up about ten metres from where I played my original shot from and I took about ten shots on the hole, but I really struck the ball well.

I also managed the furthest tee shot on a dead straight par 4, thanks to Steve lending me a higher tee and his bloody mammoth one wood (which, unsurprisingly these days, was metal).

As the round went on my game deteriorated. Be it due to me being unfit or through me thinking too much about my shots. Maybe it was due to the six pack of Coopers I polished off by the ninth. But it was a fun day out.

Last nights Xmas dinner was a fun occasion, too. We had presentations, with Johnno scooping the awards for running over a pet duck at a local nursery. The food was darn nice, as I had the potato and leek soup for starters, followed by the lamb shank and mashed potato for entree (and this was seriously delicious- I really have to learn how to cook these) with a porterhouse steak and vegies for main. This one I was a little disappointed in as it was a little chewy and didn't feel like it had been cooked properly. Then I ate about one bite of a sticky date pudding for desert before giving it to another of my workmates to finish off.

Surprisingly, I drank very little and ended up home early as I collapsed in a heap after a busy day. I slept very well last night.


By the way, does anyone know how to subscribe to other peoples blogs, or link yourself to other bloggers? I'd like to be able to get a list of people I know online and see what they're doing, and know when Swamp Boy and Gator Girl, volcboy or whoever else post their next installment on their blog. By the way, volcboy, what is the link to Jacko's blog?
