Good day at the office!

Wow...what a day that was. The girls gave us everything we asked of them and more. Mary and I are so very proud of them. I have said all week, to everyone who has asked, that I absolutely love the way the girls are just pegging up the ball and hitting it...no worrying where their swing is...just don't need to...they have all come well prepared and ready for business. So...now we have to start all over again tomorrow...this time fourball first and then foursomes, so an earlier start of 8.30am tee off. So that means meeting in the foyer at 6.15am tomorrow to leave for the golf club. USGA have prepared everything so well for this event...we have all been given the usual walkie talkies, but now we also have "sky caddies" that give us live scoring information on all the matches. Rachel hit the most majestic tee shot to start off the Curtis Cup matches today...huge moment for her and she rose to the occasion...as every GREAT player does. Indeed, each and every single player of this team rose to the occasion today....thanks girls. All that wet wet wet rain of yesterday just disappeared today, though I have to say, temperatures did not quite match up to those of Longmeadow just 1 week ago, when we were struggling with blisters and the like. Talking about Longmeadow....fab to see Roberta and Punky there today and also some of the men that the girls played against....thanks so much for travelling along to see us. Now .....as for you fab supporters....thank you, thank you, thank you. Union Jack flags, polo shirts, Irish tricolour flags, Welsh flag (Thanks Jane) shamrocks....you name it....you were all there. We need you guys...you are part of the team...and you played a huge, huge part in the girls success today...thank you so much.
Now then...early start...so lay out the uniform for tomorrow....White shorts....pink CK polo shirt and navy blue slipover..classic but "simples"....just like that meerkat!
Check out the meerkat that sits on Mary's buggy....I gave it to her (story behind that for another time!) also the shamrock headcover that I bought Mary from the pro shop because I could not resist it! ( now named Shaun the shamrock) and the dragon headcover that Mary bought me from the pro shop...because she could not resist it (now named Daffydd the dragon) in fact check out everything from the pro shop....because no one can resist it!
Nite Nite all...busy day tomorrow
