........ was freezing! Well, in Spanish terms it was.
Our golf course is generally cooler than down in Terreros because it is in the mountains. It's also a lot cooler when there is a wind coming from inland because it brings the cooler mountain air down towards the coast, bearing in mind there will be snow on the mountain tops. When we have winds from the sea it's coming from Africa - hence the warmer winds from the south.
So, having had a few warm days in Spain, Andrew had adjusted to the warmer temperatures and wallop - we get onto the golf course, the wind gets up from inland and it's incredibly cold. We were buggying rather than walking which meant we weren't even getting warm from walking the course.
After 9 holes we went in to the club house for a coffee break, and a warm. I considered whether we should call it a day at that and head home, but as we set out onto the back 9 the wind dropped, the sun made an effort to come through the clouds and although it couldn't be said to warm up at least the chill from the wind had gone and the back 9 was much more pleasant than the front. It was a pity that Andrews first visit to the course couldn't have been in nicer weather but he made a valiant effort on a difficult course.
Sorry Andrew, but even in the south of Spain we have some cold cold days!
However, on a positive note I scored my best score ever at Aguilon, 34 points - so, not a bad day overall.
