Drove to Waterville under threatening skies. The empty clubhouse was in sharp contrast to the opulence of Old Head – but we were given a very warm welcome. It was very good to have a full complement - with Simon having flown into Cork first thing. The links course was impressively set between the sea and the estuary. Incredibly windy(!) and, somewhat predictably, we played half the round in driving rain. I actually won the day (in sharp contrast to the previous day) with Barry second (again) and SteveE+Ken coming in joint third (I think).
One of the highlights of the day was Ken trying to put up his brand new umbrella and watching it disintegrate within two seconds (literally) in the high winds.
We again finished off the day in Killarney. Enjoyed a good meal at the Smoke House restaurant (and even managed to find a bar with rather better musical accompaniment) before returning for a nightcap in the hotel bar.
