No not Marti Pellow....just me!. So sorry for everyone at Essex County Club today, to have the rain pour down so hard on all their amazing preparation for the opening ceremony. It has been a grim old day , weather wise at Essex today, but it has not in any way dampened the spirits of either players or spectators for the start of the Curtis Cup tomorrow. Our girls are ready for action and I absolutely feel so proud of them. They are all great golfers but all genuinely lovely people also....it is an absolute pleasure to be with them. Course was playing longer today with the rain and the girls just played 9 holes as they had already worked hard all week on charting their way around. Really had a huge lump in my throat when raising the Union Jack today, despite looking like a drowned rat....also when Mary rose the Irish flag.....also looking like a drowned rat...what can I say...we are just a pair of drowned rats! but very proud and very emotional drowned rats. Big day for all our girls tomorrow, that first tee shot of the Curtis Cup is always a daunting one....for experienced and newcomers alike. So Mary and I will be there for them all the way....just a nod and a wink..and we will set them on their way. Come on girls....you know we can do it, but more importantly....Mary and I know you can do it. Okey Dokey...lay out the uniform for tomorrow....white trousers...white polo shirt and a nifty looking pink and white diamond slipover.....sooooo cool!
