First Golf Day, Baltray: 26 July 2008

First Links Course

Baltray, Co. Duluth course. I shot a 91 but I gave myself and 89 because I took a mulligan and parred the hole, so I did not count the 2-stroke penalty.

Andre shot an 84, Tim 91. Andre and I won by 4 holes. It was a challenging but enjoyable. This is going to be one of the easier courses that we play.

“Chicken Caesar salad” meant a small amount of Caesar dressing on a random bunch of vegetables, some lettuce and a sweet teriyaki-type of chicken and bacon combination. The salad was very odd, I have never experienced a Caesar salad like that.

Nap, dinner in Howth. My first Ireland driving experience. Only ran over one curb and struggled though parallel parking. Not bad for doing all of this on the wrong side of the road (not American is wrong). Experienced duck for the first time at a cool little restaurant called the Wheelhouse. Lovely dish.

Had some Pimms at a bar to see if I would get any odd looks because it is a distinctly British drink. The only odd looks I got were of me looking in the mirror because it is really not a tasty drink.

Decided that tomorrow Marc will drive and I will navigate. This should be interesting.
