Thanks guys. Enjoying a little r&r (rack and ruin) with SP and Captain Tom on the wild links of Myrtle Beach. Limited access to the net here Smile
Getting some mini-plods in but generaly digging up fairways and depleting local Guinness stocks.

Much to tell, tales rude and glorious from a magnificent sortie on Myrtle Beach.
For now though time for sober reflection on events in this increasingly crazy world. Compare and contrast these images from a sport under seige; Stanfords (possibly) ill-gotten gains landing in an ugly display of fatuous opulence at Lords, and the bewildered, battered Sri Lankans bording a military chopper at the Gaddafi stadium after the terrorist attack in Lahore.

I fear the sport we know (and, some of us, love) will not fully recover from this latest attrocity. Mike Atherton wrote in the Times today about the one, terrorism, designed to take life as the other, sport, seeks to celebrate it. I wonder at the scale of fear and desparation that drove those militants yesterday, how inhuman cruelty* to one's fellow man can lead to such brutal reciprocity. It's a sad, twisted world right now.
