Hotel arrival

OK.. the chaps are nearly all here.. Alice arriving first, and by the time LT and Grand-PAr shows up, Alice and Papa Hicks are already best buds. LT and Grand-Par are not in good golfing shape. The clothes made it from Chicago... the clubs did not ! Looks like a retunr trip to the airport in teh morning in the hope of a club arrival at 8.30!... GRRR !

Dagenator, Roofer and Gazebo are at the aiport waiting the glorious arrival of Almost Aussie.. Their clubs safely in their hands.. and ready for the 20 minute drive to the hotel. They've promised to wiat for 'Almost' even though they were given an out of a half hour late arrival. Hope he's really late now just to test their resolve!.. noooo..

The early chaps just grabbed some food and a beverage at "Up the Creek" seafood.. .hope our clubs aren't in the same place!!

10.42pm local time, and Alice is practicing putting into a coffee mug in the room... (hes got a $1 on putt differential against Gazebo, so he's hopeful of a bit of cash)

Signing off... more tomorrow !. keep your fingers crossed that Chicago ground crew are nice people.... (having seen a few... i think we're in trouble!)
