Hahmster Time

Dear O'H dear and Lovely Tea Jenny,

The Prince and I went to The Scottish Open today to watch golf. Yep, me - at the golf!

I managed to get cheap tickets through work but one of the conditions was that the employee had to use one of the tickets.

The last time I went to watch golf was in 1996. I was visiting Victor when he worked in Dubai and he took me to the Desert Classic. It was lovely and sunny and there were buggies ferrying people around if they wanted to get a drink from hospitality. Proper swish.

Gullane was almost exactly the same - pints of lager in plastic cups and wazzing rain that suspended play!

We actually had a brilliant afternoon (until the torrential rain). We followed Jon Rahm (“he’s the world no 1”) for a while* which made The Prince very happy. I probably wouldn’t even have considered going a couple of years ago but after lockdown, any outing is exciting. I did tell The Prince (as we traipsed back out through a muddy field) that I’m only going to future golfing events in Dubai. I don’t want him to think he can persuade me over to the dark side!

*although The Prince did sigh when I started calling him “Rahmster the Hamster.”
