I only just realised there were computers here!
Firstly, Anthony, thanks for the flattering photos, but the hair is staying!
Jud, it is a local wheat beer which is supposedly meant to be consumed with a lemon slice, and I must admit is is quite nice.
Scott, I am definitely being looked after here. GCA'ers are awesome people.
Highlights so far is playing my first round on Pac dunes and proceeding to lose my ball on the first tee, spending some time with Tom Doak and George Bahto and listening to their musings on architecture, playing a round at Pacific with Tom Doak and demonstrating that it is easy to birdie the 6th from the left rough below the bunker, playing with Michael Robin who is an outstanding guy, and shooting 76 around Old Mac on the first try.
That is just a brief update, once I get back to Sydney I can put up a load of photos and try to explain the absolutely this wonderful adventure.
Once again i thank everyone for their generosity, and hopefully I can repay/pay this forward whenever possible.
Andy
