Ian Carter

Yeah, I actually gave it until this morning in the end because there was a midday flight I could have gotten today which would have got me there Tuesday morning, which I think push come to shove I may have done.

But no, it's still second reserve, so I withdrew a couple of hours ago and I shall spend the week in the UK, which actually looking at the weather forecast and with things planned, which I know we will touch on, I'm quite looking forward to.

That's Ian Carter, our regular special guest.

You're not wrong.

I played a couple of times last week and I played quite well.

So I'm I was pretty I was surprised.

I was hopeful, pleased, encouraged, encouraged.

And I thought, you know, I would rather show up in China if I was to be slightly rusty than Turkey, because I kind of like to hit the ground running really once the European season starts, but not to me.

So there we go.

I was worried too.

Indeed.

I'm partnering up with the Badger on Thursday at Sunningdale.

So I'm quite looking forward to it.

I actually went to Sunningdale last week.

It was one of the places I played where I played quite nicely.

So, yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.

And of course you were invited, Andrew, but you're busy up in the Cairngorms.

So, I mean, it actually took a lot for me even to bother inviting you because usually the suggestion is just a straight no.

So, you know, when someone said, should we invite Andrew?

I did say no.
