Played this year’s Portuguese Open course today… not the tees they played from… Mike (Hornby) and I played at Penha Longa today on our day off. We played all 27 holes. The Atlantic Course being the obvious highlight. The Portuguese TV show ‘Golf Report’ came with us for a while and have me on film hitting some really awful shots! But we did warm up – me first, after losing the first I was 3 up after 6, but Mike gradually fought back and he is, frankly, fitter than me. I lost on the 26th hole. Kyle Phillips‘ work (for RTJ II) is top class here. We had great (very tiring) fun, and the hospitality was great. Trying to hit a cut with those Callaway rentals is not easy, though…
