Pension sorted, and notice in. Furniture removal to Spain booked. Just need to get a new club sorted... Valle del Este, Desert Springs or Marina Golf? Valle del Este is nice, but not tried Desert Springs yet. Marina Golf doesn't look a bad layout but looked a little tired last time we were there.

And then there's the car to sort. The boss wants something sensible, like a Kia C'eed, Renault Megane or an Astra. A compromise might be a GT version.

Time to crack a bottle of wine.
 
Sounds good. Hoping to be not too far behind you - certainly in the initial reduction in my working week may happen early next year. Maybe also a sabbatical. Have fun sir!
 
Valle de Este is a good choice of club. Played it every other day when we stayed there one summer.

Wednesday had a competition run by the Irish bar near the first tee. I came second three times in a row.

Hard to beat a birdie birdie finish there in the dying light, practically lit by the hotel at the end.

I like the back 9, the front is OK but the back stands out. There are just so many great holes there!

Was hoping to see you up at Cruden before I go Hugh... Brexit permitting:whistle: you're welcome in Spain
 
Nice one Bri, we had a great time stopping in Aspe with wor lasses brother the other week, really whetted the appetite to want to make the move when the time comes as well.
 
You jammy git. Good luck to you and your better half mate.

Out of interest how hard was it to sort out your pension bits mate ?
 
Haven't been for a few years... but Val Del Este over Desert Springs all day long!

Love the variety of holes at VdE , the conditioning isn't (or is that wasn't ) as good as Desert Springs, but when I used to go there regularly I used to but electricians insulating tape on the sole of hal my iron or the get damaged hitting off the waste areas... some friends of mine who lived there carried odd "old" clubs" for this reason.

Mind you, its a super area and prices have fallen like crazy in the last 10 years! Nearly bought there in 2008, on my last site visit, I took my self off round the area saw how many Se Vende signs were up and how much building was still in progress and thought... RUN! Should balance itself out now though...
 
Great news Bri, enjoy yourself and hope you have a good one sir:cheers:
