Today was a sporting day. The family went out for what might become an annual event, the family crazy golf challenge. This was quite an event, and I can't actually bring the results as there was a scoring dispute. Ultimate highlight was the out-of-bounds shot by Mo, immediately followed by her hole-in-one on the same hole.
After that it was lunch watching some premiership football, and then back to the pool. In the evening the main focus of attention was the rugby (well it was supposed to be the nice restaurant for dinner, which was not the all inclusive at the hotel). Ireland were still in with a chance of winning the 6 nations. Finding a pub showing it was not as easy as we had thought. Our scouting of Irish pubs had been based on the premise we would be going to a nice restaurant up town, but that was booked out, so we went local to our hotel. Unfortunately that was in a nice part of town, so not many pubs were showing it. In fact none of them were, but we found one with a TV showing basketball and persuaded it to turn it on. We shouldn't have bothered, as we lost to Scotland. Still it saved us from a dilemma, if we had won we might have had to stay to see if the French lost to the English. But we didn't win, so we didn't have to stay and anyway the French won.
After that was a nice meal in a restaurant on the beach front, watching the sunset, and back for more free drinks.
