    Would expect you'd find some at the more touristy areas ....

    It's a funny country - they went secular under the 'founder' of modern Turkey, Kemal Attaturk, but Erdoğan attempted a move back towards a more Islamic state, which had a damaging economic impact, particularly in terms of tourism, and now the latest election has been a bit of a people's revolt against Erdoğan and his philosophy - it's all a bit unsettled there and one of the reasons that we had some reservations about our daughter's visit ... but it's easy to succumb to the more hysterical hype and headlines when the reality seems to be that the Turkish people are predominantly just ordinary people with a profound regard for 'family' respect, good manners and being hospitable ...

    Exactly what we took away from the fortnight we spent there, bar the street vendors and rose seller's, its was an extremely welcoming and friendly place, service everywhere was brilliant possibly too helpful for some. Would definitely go to antalya again for sure, a week or 01 days is probably more than enough to do everything they have to offer locally if you like to have an active trip.

    Golf today with an old mate of mine.

    state of that tee box. Not played this one for a few years and a bit rusty. Got 9 points on front nine, then took it apart on back nine getting 23 points. Not bad for a once a month hacker.

    This is yesterday.

    185 to the middle of the green, into a 35mph wind.

    What you hitting?

    Ha, so did I.

    Left it short and it rolled back down the slope to the bottom.

    Made bogey. Brutal yesterday in that wind.

    Nice tan though.

    I remember playing Princess, which is next door to Royal St George, in Sandwich. I hit a driver into a 150 yard par 3 and didn’t get there <laugh> Links golf can be bloody brutal.

    Looks a great course. Bet when it’s not blowing it’s a tough round.

    You should come and play the course down my way. It's on the edge of the cliff in one of the most exposed parts of the coastline.
    They definitely wanted a challenge when they designed that.

    Haven’t played for about 10 years now. Got rid of all my bats, apart from the putter, when I moved.
