Doesn'T time fly when your having fun!!

Christmas is finally upon us and I guess my honey will soon arrange the Donkey(or has she already got one?) and carpenter to build the full scale Nativity Scene in the yard

This weekend we are off to the beach at Danao at a resort

with a local Hash for their Xmas bash their dedication to support the local brewing industry is legendary here so my fitness should improve dramatically

Finally tracked down what may be the cheapest Golf in the Phills last week and had my first game last Monday.

Its very Tight postage stamp greens much up and downing ,many opportunities to meet Locals, Goats and Caribou and People and cars (I saw a jeepney the day we found it)occasionally criss cross a small road that runs through it.

Longest hole is maybe 190 yds.

They claimed the cost was 260 but clever haggling (Hang yu) the phrase "pobre man ko" with appropriate eyebrow rolling and claiming my companion was "Katihik nimo" (stingy as they come all covered in this weeks group class on Cebuano) gave some credence to my claim to be local and meant we got it down to 150peso for week days and you can play all day for this

We did rent clubs and a caddy to show us the way and I hope he was amused a half set with two putters 150 caddy more pobres 100

Took us a couple of hours but then we did want to fully explore less visited parts of the course In the UK we would call it a pitch and putt with fly tipping opportunities you can also purchase 20 pickups for around 150

To maintain the exclusivity of this find if your handicap is based on balls lost and you do not wear loud yellow check trousers PM me and I may reveal the location But please no Riff Raff

The Cebuano Teaching has picked up to the point my Honey is tendering her notice to her English School so she can concentrate on developing this so we will have more time together

Ah well its 9.15am "Horas para na mag-inum"
