It has been with some trepidation that I have sat down (finally) to pen this edition of the Blog and I am keenly aware that some little time has passed since cyber-space was cluttered with my random musings. July somehow seemed to pass in a blur despite all good intentions the creative juices seemed to dissipate prior to reaching the finger tips as they reached to hammer the keyboard.
In part I can reflect on the lousy weather, the quiet before the storm in and around the Club, Struan being away and the particularly unspectacular month of work. Apart from signing off my annual WOF with an insitu mediation I also completed that wonderful process known to those in the Department as a P4O (performing for outcomes - essentially a performance review) which involves dredging through your memory for something you achieved that was significant - in my case no easy task!! It was my worst month for achieved settlements in the near ten years I have been doing the job which resulted in some deep reflective practice.
Apart from that I took some extra accrued annual leave due to a mistake made in allocation by the Department. In a period of 8 days I played 7 times including enjoyable rounds with the mid week men and the Wednesday boys although I did lose a Page Trophy match. The Food Fairy made a fleeting visit for a Luncheon and has now gone into hibernation until October.
From now until the end of November the "pace of play" increases meaning more news worthy items will be occurring. In terms of that well worn phrase from School Report time - "I promise to do better next term!!""
In the interim good golfing and I will see you at Shirley if not before.
