It’s been a fairly ‘long’ but worthwhile 2 weeks here in Korea, but FINALLY, we are departing for Beijing… ! 1 step closer to realizing my Olympic Dream!
Our final Day in Korea ended on a great note with a dress up-putt putt competition with our woman’s team...
All the Teams were superbly dressed and along with great banter and camaraderie on the course- a great time was had by all!
There were prizes for “Best Dressed Team,” “Best Individual Score,” “Best Team Score,” “Hole in One” and “Highest Individual Score.”
The Prizes were chocolates, might not sound too good but GREATLY enjoyed by the winners after 2 weeks of ‘eating the right stuff!’
From a training perspective, we couldn’t have asked for better weather conditions to practice in here- very hot and ridiculously humid! It’s a pity the astro was so different to the Olympic turf, but that wont matter in the bigger picture. Also, we had a few games planned against Korea but they were based in Seoul which is a 4 hour ride away so those matches didn’t materialize, making our 2 warm up games vs Spain and Belgium (7th & 8th August respectively) vitally important and an opportunity for us to put any final touches in place.
As I post this, our plane will be taking off in 5 hours for destination Beijing, where upon arrival we will be escorted to the Olympic Village...I can't wait!!!
I’ll be in touch soon!
Beijing here we come...!
