GOLF

I played golf with my sons this morning. Nothing particularly taxing; 100 or so practice shots, some putting, and then 9 holes on a par-3 course. I am not a great golfer, and for my younger son, it was his first ever time. Nevertheless, being sporty and young, they both thought that they would thrash me. Well, suffice to say, the old man won convincingly.

The other point of note was that my younger son paid for the beers afterwards. Now that hasn't happened very often.
