Christchurch

Last night we went to "The Bog", an Irish pub for dinner -  pub food, although rather  superior quality and presentation.  A very talented 4 piece band entertained us with traditional and modern Irish favourites which got the fingers and toes going.  A very friendly group who obviously enjoyed playing up to tourists. Sadly Jan and Phil had to leave early this morning to return to work.

Today we played at Clearwater, hosts of the NZ Ladies Open a few weeks ago. It is a lovely course in great condition featuring water hazards in plenty, strategic bunkers and plenty of garden beds.  The resort has many stylish homes dotted around plus town house groups complete with summer houses down on the lake edges.  Beautiful!

We played two groups of 4 and we hardly saw another group at all. Afterwards we enjoyed drinks at the clubhouse and were treated to a complimentary platter of cheeses, smoked salmon, dips, fruit, salami and crackers - very civilised. Last game tomorrow.
