For those who know me. I am not an early bird. But on the Pinkeagle2011 tour and for my passion golf, I get wake up calls at 05:45... and 10 mins later, I am eating breakfast...
Then my driver doesn't find the course for 45 mins (robbing me essentially of 30 mins sleep as the drive would only be about 15 mins..., wants to charge me 93 AED - and I am being told later that this fare would have taken me to Abu Dhabi almost, so I give him a generous 50 AED and "no, I am not calling him to pick me up in the afternoon - Metro next to the course and next to the hotel will do the job for 6.5 AED) ... I still make it for the practice tee at 07:20 eventually. Tee off at 08:00.

Had a wonderful start to my golfing at the Emirates Golf Club - Majlis. Never mind my score, birdie counter still at 0 ("zero")... oh wait, no there was a birdie... but it was Rob's not mine ;-)

And this is why it was so nice: the company. Thank you Martin, Tony and Rob (in order of appearance) for being such good playing partners on my official start of the tour today...
