Chalky's Birthday

Celebrations started a little early when Chalky was too excited to sleep and got up at 5 o Clock. His attempts to be as quiet as a little mouse where ruined when he blew his nose and woke me up at 5.30. I went into the lounge to see him watching football on the TV so we decided on an early present opening ceremony. It was quite a short opening ceremony as only myself and the 'Dad of the Year' (with Grandad) had got him anything there on time!! As my main present to him was a major contribution to his new Palm Smartphone (phone, camera, internet, email, organiser, mobile tv etc) that was to be picked up later in the day there was no contest as to which present put the biggest smile no his face.

This was his new golf bag and buggy from Garth & Grandad. Ths bag has designated fur lined valubles pocket, insulated cooler section, separate putter holder for quick access, individual club dividers as well as numerous other pockets and external ball and tee holders etc.

As such after a lovely breakfast at our newest favourite local cafe we headed up the Northern Beaches to play 18 holes of golf at Mona Vale.

The golf was a bit of a mixed bag but did get better towards the end, Chalky was pleased however that although he didn't play as well as he'd like he did some great shots with a variety of different clubs including pitcher, 7 iron, 4 iron!! 7 wood and 3 wood. You may notice the omission of the putter from that list!!!!!

For the evening we went to the Mosman Hotel with Mum & Dad, Trav & Dan for steak & chips etc followed (& preceeded) by Champagne & Birthday Cake and presents from the Chambers family.

All in all a very good day.
