Swingout Sister

Golf is good for you. Marta Mamani, an Aymara indigenous woman, hits a drive during her work break at La Paz Golf Club, Bolivia. I'm off to do my Marta thing this weekend - YAY!

This image of local Adelaide pro-golfer Anna Rawson is a special treat for Son #5, our champion of all things on the green. I know you find our Anna 'inspirational' Sweetie. Love Mum xx

Weekend Warrior


Another big weekend coming up with Christmas Parties tonight & tomorrow night. Also feel it's probably time to start some informal Chrissie shopping & I really would like to squeeze a round of golf in with son #5.

Have also just heard a rumour (from a few of his brothers!) that son #2 may grace us with his presence from Melbourne this weekend. He's just sheepishly informed us that he won't be home again for Christmas this year, as he's leaving on Dec. 22nd for 5 weeks backpacking around Morocco & surrounds with a mate. Last year it was Vietnam & Laos & the year before India & Sri Lanka - me thinks there is a pattern developing here of avoiding Christmas Day ('affectionally' known in our family as Family Feud Day!).

This beautiful terrace looks just so inviting - would be wonderful to prop myself at that table, not move for the whole weekend & let the world come to me. Whatever you are up to, hope the weekend brings you much fun & lots of laughter.

White Ball + Stick = Happiness!

I've spent far too long in the office this week & not nearly enough time out & about. So I'm indulging myself this weekend & heading to the Scottish highlands for our weekend cyber escape. As I'm desperate to pull the spikes on & put stick to ball, the only possible place to enjoy a round this weekend is the venerable St. Andrews Royal and Ancient Golf Course. While Son # 5, our golf expert with the 6 handicap, would probably dismiss my choice in favour of Pebble Beach, I want the brisk breezes of the highlands in my face.

Our accommodation is not far from the course at the wonderful Culloden House. A little chintz & tartan, but oh so cosy! With a Michelin star, I'm sure dinner in-house will be a memorable experience.

So please join me for a round, or just relax by the fire in the luxurious surrounds of Culloden House. Oh & for those of you who want to get golfing, why not book in for an afternoon at the St. Andrews Golf Academy!
