Contrast

Another hot but breezy day started with 18 holes of golf. Started at 7.50 so they were a bit surprised when we were in the bar at 10.30 having missed breakfast but ordering cheeseburgers! Felt good so decided to go out for a run at mid-day when the heat was full on. I ran just over six miles and due to the heat needed to carry water - legs felt great.
Back for some lunch and time to relax watching the Open. What a contrast. No not the golf as they were hitting some wild shots as well. But the weather. The moisture in Portugal is sweat whereas at the open the heavens have opened up. Mind you it will make the Americans realise what links golf is all about and 61 year old Tom Watson shows the youngsters how it's done.
