Waking up to warmer temperatures. What a treat: I can leave my blue woolen sweater in the closet for the first time in days. At breakfast, it feels like this Outrigger Twin Town hotel I am staying at is in the middle of Florida and all those 75-85 year old seniors have flocked in like the snowbirds for their winter season. In many other ways this feels a bit like Florida here too. Nice long white sandy beaches, good surf and a beach bum atmosphere in the air.
I played at the West course of Coolangatta today. The round was very slow as the course was busy. So, I got to enjoy my hunt for birdies with the camera (pictured is a Kookaburra... did not shoot any birdie scores though today... 36 putts again - have not bought that new putter yet ;-) - and shooting 8 over my HCP...). All the par 3 holes on this course are "mandatory call holes". Not sure this adds anything to the speed of play, maybe it even slows it down?
I do not understand why they put flights of 4 people on this intertwined and back and forth course on every 8 minutes on a sunny sunday when everyone gets out to play. But as said, the temperatures where so enjoyable it was shirt and shorts time and I just enjoyed the views.
The sun now sets at 5pm here and I made my way over to Point Danger to watch the surfers and get the sunset over the bay at Gold Coast. For dinner I had a spicy vindaloo chicken at a local Indian restaurant where the cook came to check whether I was able to eat my "please make it spicy" order.
