It was a depressingly early start to the day. We could hear rain falling and had an early tee time booked (Simon needed to fly home this afternoon). We arranged to have breakfast in the hotel at 7.15am before driving the very short distance to Lahinch Golf Club – arriving in the car park before anyone else and in utter darkness. It proved to be a VERY wet round of golf - we all agreed that we’d never got quite as wet before on a golf course! The one positive note was that the wind had subsided a little (which probably meant that the rain wasn’t blown away!). Overall some of us were a little disappointed by the course (but perhaps it was the fact that we played under leaden skies, heavy rain and no sunshine?). Much to my surprise, I ended up winning the day again, with Ken coming second, Barry third and Simon fourth.
We all went straight back to the hotel to have baths and warm up. Simon had to depart soon after lunch (big hugs all round!). The rest of us played pool in a local bar before enjoying another great meal at the hotel before getting an early night – Ken, Christian+Barry departing very early the following morning to catch a flight home.
