Vi landet en tidlig morgen på Gatwick flyplass, etter å plukket opp suv´en var meningen å komme seg sørover, men etter 20 min kjøring var det full stopp da det var masse politi og vanlige folk med engelske flagg ... Vi hadde plumpet rett opp i OL ilden som ble ført sør for Gatwick denne dagen ...
Etter dette gikk ferden videre sørover og byen Eastbourne, men før det skulle undertegnende innom golfbase.co.uk for å handle litt!
Her fikk creditkortene bein å gå på da det ble handlet for over £800 ... Nye Ecco bio hybrid sko, ny bag, nye jern og en del klær og baller.
Etter 2 kose dager på stranden i Eastbourne gikk ferden videre til Bournemouth, men nord for Brighton ligger den en golfbane som heter Pyecombe Golf Club.
Og det sjefen ikke viste var at jeg hadde meldt oss på i en golfturnering, Henne med 43 i hc og aldri spilt en turnering så var ikke dette spesielt populært ...
Dette var en "Mixed Team Rumble" turnering ... Resultatet for turneringen kan vi forbigå med den store stillhet!, eller som svenskene sier: Fulle tystnad! ...
Pyecombe Golf Club var fin den, ikke spesielt lang men veldig "hilly" og noen ganger tricky! ...

Hole 3 - Switchback, Par 4 421 yds ... http://www.pyecombegolfclub.com/Holes/Hole3.html
Possibly the best 3rd hole in Sussex. An elevated tee shot gives a panoramic view of the hole. A challenge in any conditions, but a joy to play.
Hole 6 - Pit, Par 4 415 yds ... http://www.pyecombegolfclub.com/Holes/Hole6.html
A dog leg left. The new 6th tee was opened on the 6/6/2006. Its stroke index 6. It's now regarded as a good test of golfing ability. Can you better 6 shots?
Hole 9 - Valley, Par 5 450 yds ... http://www.pyecombegolfclub.com/Holes/Hole9.html
A spectacular hole. An elevated tee allows a bold drive into a valley, sweeping left. A successfully executed long drive to the right side of the fairway allows the very best with a shot to reach the green in two.
Hole 11 - Warren's Rest, Par 3 301 yds ...http://www.pyecombegolfclub.com/Holes/Hole11.html
A good drive is required to clear the escarpment. The second a tricky semi blind shot to the green.
Hole 12 - Short Break, Par 4 332 yds ... http://www.pyecombegolfclub.com/Holes/Hole12.html
The entire length of the 12th hole is played adjacent to the South Downs Way and out of bounds. Approaching the green, players can see the North Downs, the Weald of Sussex, and Chanctonbury Ring, Worthing.
Hole 14 - Long Hole, Par 5 534 yds ... http://www.pyecombegolfclub.com/Holes/Hole14.html
Titled the Long Hole, it is a long hole requiring two good blows and an accurate third to find the putting surface for a birdie chance.
Hole 18 - Whitebeam, Par 4 291 yds ... http://www.pyecombegolfclub.com/Holes/Hole18.html
A fairly short par 4 dogleg right to finish. Played into the prevailing wind a well placed drive is required to provide a second shot to an elevated green protected by 3 bunkers.
