Hi Brad,

do not stress. I am currently doing some play-testing for Bill's latest course "Indian Cypress Lakes". It is still vey much a work in progress, but I am sure the quality and challenge will be maintained.

On an NFL note, as a forty-year Redskins supporter (Yes, I still call them the Redskins; deal with it all you whinges who made us change our name!), nothing pleased me more than to see the Eagles and Cowboys booted in Wild Card round. I watched the Buccaneer's game and was quietly impressed. It is a trait of Australians to barrack for the underdog, so I hope the Buccaneer's continue on their winning ways.

Robyn and I are celebrating tonight on the birth of our only daughter, Kirby's, first baby and our fifth grandchild. So pleased to welcome little Austin Brady into the Lanagan family, and yes, she did say the Brad in Brady is for me (Love that girl!). So proud of Kirby, as she has done this through IVF (eight failed attempts) and without a male partner to help her. She decided that in her late thirties, if she didn't do it now, she may never have another chance to be a mother.

Cheers and beers :party:

Brad

PS: No offence to anyone who supports any other NFL team.

Yeah! Congratulations! My girls are 21 and 18, so hopefully I won't be a pawpaw for a few years :)

Thanks Brad.

No hurry for you to become a grand-father, but every year after their mid-twenties exponentially increases the difficulty for a woman to fall pregnant and successfully retain the foetus. Kirby is 39 and as I said, lost eight, before being successful. Both of my daughters-in-law were also in their mid-thirties and both had many difficulties. Unfortunately, kids these days seem to be all about the material possessions and their careers and not what matters most, family, children and grand-children. That's my belief anyway. Grand-kids are the greatest thing since sliced bread!

Cheers

Brad

Round 3. This is a really nice course by Terry, very much in line with his courses like Kapalua. There is one odd thing on my views though which is that the background has a funny step-off of the horizon on some holes. Otherwise perfect.

At one point Terry had said he was working on Prestwyk and Gleneagles...with the release of the later, I'm hoping we'll still be seeing the former. He drops his courses in like an unexpected birthday gift! I'm always happy to play one of his courses, and on my PGA 2023 tour, he was responsible for so many of those tour courses! Would love to see his take on Innisbrook Copperhead, another tour regular.
