ball heading for the water!

Today was a golf day. We played at Seminole Lake Country Club which was probably the most expensive course we have played at on this holiday. It was in very good condition so worth the money. As fitting to the course name, there was a lot of water to avoid.  One par 3 had a 190 yard carry over water.  We saw a couple of small alligators.

We were partnered with a family of 3, Kenny, Amber and their son, Carter. Until we started it wasn't obvious which 2 of the three were actually playing. They were all 3 in one buggy and it transpired that Amber was the driver of the buggy and Kenny and Carter were playing. Kenny was a good golfer and Carter was one of 80 children nationally who represents the under 9s in their Drive, Chip and Putt scheme for children. He has played at Augusta, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst and Torrey Pines in under 9s competitions. I was completely out of my depth but I hit the ball better towards the end of the round when it was too late. Ben played reasonably well all the way round. We were completely beaten by the other two. We will be looking out for Carter's name in a few years because he showed great potential.

I think we just ate his sister

On the way back we stopped at a steakhouse and had very good steaks.

There was a pretty sunset this evening as the whole sun could be seen without any clouds all the way until it dropped beneath the horizon.
