Golf

So....been back...what like 10 days.....been playing some golf....good to get out....relax and feel like im doing some kind of exercise.....been a while since i last played....oh well....wot i like about golf....u can play with someone that is much better than u and u can still win against them....and u can play golf forever.....so many sports after a certain age u have to give up...not golf......and yes....u can still have fun at golf cause u hit the ball and then there is a small rest while u walk to ur next ball...u cAn talk, gossip etc etc.......

So played golf....unfortunately the course has been very dry....yes, its winter in south africa but it still looks kind of terrible..the good part is, the ball rolls quite a bit....here are some pics....

 
So....i was quite amazed...first round was actually quite acceptable....good for me..and guess that is what will make me go back...wonder if second round would also be like that....hmmmmm......well let me spare u with the anticipation and ill just tell u..second time playing this week...shocker of note..I guess my mid was preoccupied with other things..And although i was physically present....mentally i was not....and yes golf is a physical as much as mental game..Prob more mental...so a shocker of note....here are some more pics though..

But i guess the main thing...im having fun...so ill be back on friday....AND hopefully i will have a good round...need to practice...cause have a friend ill play with who has a much lower handicap...and need to be able to half play decent....hmmmmm....ok....so i better practice some more..... But like i said it has been fun....weather has been amazing....first day we played still quite chilli...but the second day...we teed off at 7:50 and by the third hole i was in my sleeveless top.....so it was warm....so nice to play golf in weather like his.....the great part about playing early is u can still enjoy the rest of ur day afterwards.....and yes...i have been having more coffees and been cooking...and exploring the new shopping centre...Nicole Way.....but that all is for another time....this time it is a short blog...Just about golf.....now im tired....had a good meal at Fishmonger with a friend and now it is time to sleep....goodnite.....

Podere il Casale

Beautiful place near Monticchiello in the Southern Tuscany. My parents, together with Mutti and Sofia went there whilst Kim and I were in Corsica. They raved about it, stating that it was Swiss owned and they met the couple who owns and runs it. They are actively involved and so are their children. Their food is produced on the farm, they are famous for their Pecorino cheese. They also offer Pizza and bread courses, camping etc etc....in fact i was really looking forward to visiting this place. They have outdoor and indoor seating but i must say the outdoor seating cannot be compared to the indoor hall. The outside is quaint, picturesque and has breath-taking views. There is quite a long dirt road following up to Podere il Casale....its not so easily found. The sign at the entrance is also not too good. Once we parked a beautiful sign welcomed us....let me share a pic... Podere il Casale As mentioned the place was quaint and picturesque with beautiful laid tables....and a fabulous vi...
