Back in London




Did I mention the summer in England is just great? Don't mind the 10 degrees (about 50 F), the rain and the wind and everything else is just perfect!

The golf course is nice, located in a London suburb (Kent). Nice rolling hills with native grass dancing in the wind like oacean waves... very poetic. Again, other than the golf course and the hotel we didn't do much. Loreto, Felipe's wife came though... and she brought some pisco!!! (chilean liquor). So we watched the Wimbledon final drinking some piscolas (pisco vs. coke)... you just can't beat that!!
Sco'ishh!!!

And now people, we are in Glasgow! Scottish Open. The British Open is next week, so a lot of big time players are here as a "warm up". Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Adam Scott, etc etc etc... the course is BEAUTIFUL, very green with gentle slopes. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous; big hills with sheep pasturing, the lake (Loch Lomond) with pristine waters (you can see the rocks way in the bottom) that the course "hugs" its holes, the clouds that let the sun shine really bright sometimes and bring rain 20 minutes later... reminds me a lot of the south of Chile. We are staying in a log cabin too where RV's (casas rodantes) and camping tents have space too, so that definetly helps with the relaxed atmosphere.

We start thursday at 7:50am. If you want to follow our scores go to http://www.europeantour.com/ and if you have the Golf Channel, they usually show the tournament very early in the morning.

Keep in touch people!
