Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
Yes thanks, quite happy with 16 over at Pyecombe. Treated myself to a new adjustable Ping driver after trying out a demo for a few weeks. Incredibly it adds a good 30-40 yards on my drives, so it goes even further into the woods! 
The slow play did have it's humour, watching the fella in the three ball in front take 5 minutes to prepare for a drive then top it 40 feet, or spend 5 minutes lining up a putt but never holing one. 
Lovely day in autumn sun though, especially becuse this fair weather golfer here will go into 3 months hibernation soon!
