Hi Everbody
Firstly apologies for taking
so long to get this blog out well. Id like to say a big
thank you to all the well wishies before i went in to hospital. It was a bit touch
and go as to whether I was going in or not had a phone call on the wednesday to say they
might not have a bed for me. We will ring you in the morning oh well ok thanks about
8 o clock the phone rings sorry Mr Hurcombe we still dont know if we can get you in there
has been a nasty accident we will ring you back in an hour. Great i thought I wont be going
in. Half nine phone rings are Mr Hurcombe would you like to come down thank god for that
so off we go. On the way down we see the remains of the accident earlier it was nasty.
Had surgeon come and see me and explain what he was going to do and
put an arrow on my leg so they dont get the wrong one which is a joke when you only
have one.So down we go wake up about half four they take me up to a ward but all i want
to do is go home after a while and very reluctentley they let me go. Iwent back and saw the
surgeon after a week he told me what he had done and not what i was hoping not good news
really my knee is really knackered and im still getting a lot of pain and wont see the surgeon
for three months will keep you informed well now on to the golf if your not bored.
Well Id been able to get a couple of games in before we headed off to Five Lakes in Essex
where I had been asked to captain the Europen team. So on the sunday me and my vice
captain Brendon set off we travelled up together as we dont live that far from each other.
After a couple of hours we were there not to far for us.
Its was great to see friends and the banter is already starting so we grab a coffie and wait
for the rest. Well now we are putting the teams in the four ball we had was great four ball as if it
was the four of us on our own me Brendon; Andy Gardiner and our good mate Tony Lloyd.
Me and Tony had our usual bet, a fiver which i can gladly say I took the honours this time
cheers Tony. But give the old boy his dew he had the shot of the day on the 10th a par three were
he put it to within a foot of the flag knocks in his birdy for four points. Well done mate . What
could I say about the course not a lot, I think it was not in good condition the fairways were bad
the greens were bad. I hoped the course for the next day was not that bad. Couldnt even
say the food was good because it wasn't. Standings for day one were
England
Europe
Wales
Day two im in the last group another great four ball Ben ; Dave and Neil. All four of us struggeled
on the first hole we all blobed good start, and yes my worst fears this course was not a lot better. The
greens where a little better but not a lot so the final standings were
England
Europe
Wales
Well done England and a big big thank you to my team Europe guys but a well done to everyone
and great to see you all and see you all again soon
Well hope you havnt been to bored
