The golf tournament has now ended and this morning the town has a post party feel to it. The private jets roared over the village late last night taking their occupants back to the balmier weather of Florida. I counted eight heading off. More will probably go this morning.
After dismal weather on Saturday the last days play was wonderful and the crowds enormous. One of the members of the Royal and Ancient tells us that the decision to halt play on Saturday was easy. When the golf balls roll of their own accord across the greens you know its time to call it quits. At the start of the weekend they were 'scooting' across the grass.

You sent me off down another rabbit hole. And while I was there, Lecornu resigned.
