Gents, photo of me and the old fella’s I went to the Open with. This is the Wednesday night and the Scottish mist has come in (for the one and only time thank goodness). The bloke with his arm around me is Donnie Rieter, winner of two Oz amatuers and runner up in two Vic opens. Knows Howard well. Bloke to his right is Peter Duffy, 60 years of age playing off plus 1. The others ranged from 7 to 2 (on Yarra Yarra). I told ’em I had a bad back on my way to a lazy 91 at Crail. Also told em that Ivanhoe was one hard track!

Editors Note. The Swilken Bridge that Tom Watson kissed in his last farewell to the British Open this week.

A very wintry day with 80km/h winds and freezing conditions did not stop Bill Eastoe and Mal Fleming playing to their handicaps and taking out joint first place today. Kazim and Gordo were only one stroke behind so it was a closely fought competition. I bet the sudden charge to arctic conditions was a challenge after coming off a nice sunny cruise :-).

Next week is the annual Fred Howe Winter Cup which is stableford format played over two consecutive weeks. As usual the winter conditions are well and truly with us for this traditional competition.
