Looking over the 10th hole at St Luis Rey Downs Golf & Country Club

 Our body clocks are gradually getting used to the time difference although we were awake at 5.30pm this morning mainly due to Ben's phone ringing! We decided to venture to San Diego to a golf shop so that he could purchase a new golf bag. Apparently the zips on the pockets of his old one have all broken. The drive was quite hair rasising as have all our driving trips in the area. We are amazed at the amount of traffic on up to 9 lane roads at all times of day. Fortunately Ben brought his Tom tom so we have managed to find our way around quite easily. He successfuly bought a new golf bag as well as golfballs and tee pegs so is all set to play now.  From San Diego we travelled north to the small town called Bonsall, where we had a tee time booked on a course in the neighbourhood. We were paired up with 2 men, one of whom played regularly on this course. He was able to point us in the direction of some other courses reasonably near by. It was a much closer competition today as we had equal scores at the begining of the 18th hole, but Ben managed to beat me in the end by 1 point. After our needle golf match we drove home via the nearest Red Lobster restaurant, one of our favourite restaurant chains, where we ate lobster, scallops, prawns and crab claws.
