Hello Paul,
Thanks for the comments. I do not know Els, his chief designers, or his work well enough to be able to agree or disagree with your comments about his design abilities. However I am meeting with Chris Kennedy next week and I know he has just spent all this week with Ernie Els at Wentworth.

Hi Patrick,
The consultancy is satisfying but thin on the ground to be honest. The Blogging I love, but don't have enough time for it or just don't put enough into it.
Thanks for the comment. just off to look you up.

Agnes you must go sometime. Marrakesh and Fez are fantastic, although I am talking 36 years ago, and you have not even been around that long, so plenty of time for it!
What did you do for your 16th birthday?
Hi Agnes, Thanks for the heads up on the link. The Blogs people have put http:// in twice. You can link via the Google 'Oops' page though.

In was on a school trip to Morocco, thirty kids, four weeks in mini buses. We were camping most of the journey however, we did stay in a so called college dorm for a few nights near the Sarah Desert. It was my 16th while we were there, so the rest of the group threw a party for me. After the party, as I went to the boys dorm, a girl called Marianne offered me a birthday kiss. As I went to take up the offer she turned away, teasing me in front of the rest. I married her 2 years later aged 18, lasted 18 years before I turned away from her, have two lovely boys though. I bet a lot of lives have taken a different direction on birthdays.
