Barb, me and Jane ready for another 18 holes of golf at Glenelg Golf Club.


Followed by a little sightseeing at Glenelg Beach and then lunch.





One of the highlights of this short holiday will be catching up with dear friends Jan and George in their home over a delicious dinner that Jan cooked and drinking wine that George made. I was so disappointed that I had forgotten to take a photo ( we never stopped talking all night). I decided to post this old photo of Jan that I took when we used to work together nearly 40 years ago.

The first day at the Women's Australian Open at Royal Adelaide Golf Club. Pete and I followed this group with Lydia, Hana and Brooke for quite a few holes. Hana went on to win the event.


Brooke, Hana and Lydia ....


Brooke on the tee, this shows a little more of the course.


Karrie Webb...


We were lucky with the weather...


In the late afternoon we went and played nine holes at Kooyonga Golf Course, where the Open will be held next year. 


Isn't it stunning! Such a terrific course to play.


Putting on the last green, the greens were like carpet. 




Jane, Barb and I spent the morning wandering up and down Rundle Mall , shopping and sightseeing.


Waiting at the tram stop....


...on the tram...


In the afternoon we played nine holes at Glenelg Golf Course and then ate dinner in their clubhouse. The course was fantastic!


The three wise men...Pete, Les and Chas...

This afternoon we arrived in Adelaide for the Australian Ladies Golf. We are staying with our friends, Jane, Les, Barb and Charlie in apartments in Unley. I'm already loving the beautiful bluestone  buildings. Above is Les, Chas and Pete walking home from the bottle shop.

We have cooked chicken and beer, happy men.


What golfers do in the evenings after a few wines...
