After a splendid day's toil, it was time for Tuesday Night Golf Club at Metro Golf, where a competitive field of 7 international athletes gathered to play the Innisbrook Copperhead course. I finished mid-field with a creditable 30 points, which consisted of a great start before my 1st pint of Heineken took effect, a dodgy third-quarter as the 2nd pint affected my swing, and a barn-storming last 4 holes as the 3rd pint instilled confidence and athletic abandon. Seasoned professional Neil "Dutchy" Holland edged out Conquer "The Conqueror" O'Keeffe in a dramatic play-off after both finished on 34 points. The evening was only slightly marred by a neighbouring gang of chappies who insisted of laughing like hyenas every 15 seconds - amazing how a round of golf could produce such utter hilarity!

The Royal & Ancient Committee then retired to the fine nearby Ringsend hostelry, The Oarsman, for a few convivials, and the fine evening finished with a bracing walk home across the East Link bridge.
