After a long day travelling out we arrived at the villa just after 11 PM USA time. Having set off from Brampton at 7:30 AM it took twenty one and a half hours. Getting through immigration was a pain and by the time we got in to the mini van it had taken two hours since we landed to clear the airport.
Day 1 news and scores will be posted tomorrow.
Good night.
The weather forecast for the tour starting to look good and there are no immediate concerns on the hurricane front!
We understand that a tour member recorded his best score round Brampton on Saturday, a fine 73 gross. The player currently has a handicap of 8.5 and thus this score returns a net 64!!! If the CSS was 71 then this excellent round would see his handicap reduced by 1.4 to 7.1, perhaps a meeting of the handicap committee should be held on board the 747 on Wednesday!
Great knock Steve, see you are again coming into form at the right time.

Hurricane Irene on Track to Strike Southeast US
Aug 22, 2011; 4:22 AM ET
Irene remains destined to strike the southeastern United States later this week as a hurricane.
At present this is expected to hit the east coast of Florida as a Cat. 2 Hurricane so if this prediction is correct it should not cause any major problems to the gulf coast golf courses.
