cold and crunchy walk Friday morning...usual Friday walking to & from work & FkF...1st run of the new point-score for FkF...

this morning Hodge and I did Coombs parkrun...I wanted to test the new hands-free leash set up I'd bought during the week from Tailrunner...I got the narrow belt & leash and the adventure harness...ordered Wednesday night, it arrived via express post on Friday...

it was my first run with Hodge PS and the hands-free leash made it easier for me although Hodge has a habit of running in my footsteps every now and again...used the first k to get our rhythm...this was my third run at Coombs but first on the alternate course...this was Hodge's second run at Coombs...

golf was monthly medal...we had a temporary par 3 for our 2nd (instead of par 4) due to new power line infrastructure going in...the "green" is ordinary...

I had one really bad hole (10 on a par 5, oops) plus 1 triple & 4 doubles, 7 bogies & 5 pars...45 with 16 putts, 1 3-putt, 1 bunker on the front and 50 with 16 putts, 1 3-putt, 1 bunker on the back...I had my best driving round ever with 10 out of 12 fairways but only 5 GIR...4hrs18 to play...
