Day 2 at Longmeadow
Well another fab day here at Longmeadow....started off early and definitely looking like a waterproof day, then just got hotter and hotter. Good old breeze whipping up amongst the trees kept the girls on their toes and my...... didn't they look so good in their pale blue shirts today. Once again everyone in the club is looking after us so well and can not do enough for us. Just around 2.15pm, an almighty thunderstorm descended on us, rudely interrupting 70 plus golfers who began their shotgun start at 1pm....however with 15 minutes it was gone and within minutes it was like sitting in a sauna! So tomorrow, the girls can really hit the button and get into matchplay mode against the Longmeadow men. Everyone, not just in the golf club, but in and around the hotel also, are so interested about what is happening both here and next week at Essex County Club......Had an excellent evening tonight with Roberta, Punky and Debbie, in an Italian restaurant called Uno's, literally a 56% wedge from the hotel, with live music where the lead singer is also a member of the golf club....awesome! Both Punky and Debbie are very good friends of Roberta's and also members of Longmeadow. Congrats to Debbie, fresh from her victory in a ladies competition at Cape Cod and thanks so much to both of them for ferrying us back to our hotel tonight. Punky has got the coolest mini cooper ever and she very kindly took 2 journeys back and forth the hotel, so that the girls could ride in the mini....almost a disaster though , when a second thunderstorm arrived out of the blue.....and the roof was down on the mini at the time! Ok, time to sign off and fly to the land of nod..... white shorts and pink shirts tomorrow...don't forget to pack uniform for the evening...put the gatorade for the girls by the bedroom door so i will not forget....maybe put the blazer there too while I am at it.....locker keys.....hmm, nearly had a disaster with those tonight and that is another story!......
