Things That Gladden The Heart

One of lifes great joys, hearing a Merlin engine purring away. Brilliant piece of engineering

Certainly agree with the sentiment! But 'purring'? Even 'growling' doesn't properly describe that fantastic sound! As a 'non-Brit' I don't reallyfeel any shame actually preferring the sound of the P51-Mustang which used a US built version!

I once played Leuchars whle there was an air show on at the base. Watching tha, even from quite a distance, especially the Spit, Lancaster and Huricane (I think) fly around was far more interesting than my golf! The Lanc made a tremendous sound,but hardly seemed to move!
 
Early Autumn blue sky days - simply stunning out there. Shame I can't swing a club yet, but a little bit of chipping today at least.
 
Set the new 'scope up last night. Saturn in all its glory, and Jupiter with its big red spot(storm). Managed to get some decent pics of the Andromeda Galaxy and a couple of dense star clusters.

Yep the Galaxy was brilliant last night , far better the Cadbury's 😋

I got some decent film footage of that ages ago. It was a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away
 
Gladden and saddened , I ordered a showerproof Callaway top from Golfonline @ 6pm on Monday , it arrived Tuesday 11.30 AM (y).
Sadly it was too small :( so returned it on Wednesday morning and re- ordered, now hoping my XXL arrives as quick and fits :eek:
 
H.A.P.P.Y, I won todays 9 hole stableford comp with 20 points , including magic 2, but sadly a double bogey at the last. But hopefully a wee cut coming :love:.
Now looking forward to tomorrows Veterans comp.:cool:
 
Good news. How was it? No ill effects?

Fine thanks Martyn. No reaction at all and needed to remind myself to take it easy and not do too much. Hitting full 7i and no pain or tightness. Felt tired more than anything but 2 1/2 weeks of doing nothing will do that! Next 3 days will be sitting and watching Ryder Cup so hoping to play a few 9 holers next week :-)

Good news. Take it easy, enjoy the golf and then get back into it next week. Hoping you'll be back to full fitness and burning it up again soon
