Today, Team Ireland took to the fairways at the Paraguay Yacht and Golf club ! We had a wonderful time. The course is absolutely beautiful and very well cared for.
Other than one other playing lesson with the pro behind us, there was no one else on the course and we played millionaire's golf !
Apart from Alberto and Celeste and myself, we had Fabrizzio, S
ylvana and Stefano playing today, all of whom take lesson every weekend at the club and showed off very nice golf swings .. 
The game was very relaxed and in the 40 degree heat there was even time for a Terere break under a tree. Thankfully, there was a nice breeze today, which wasn't great for the golf, but absolutely vital for survival ! We stopp
ed for a drink after 9, and then had a very nice lunch before we tackled the back nine.It was so hot that the iced water we'd brought with us from the 10th, was soon boiled, to the extent that you could almost make tea with it !
We struggled through the heat, but finished with the wonder, tricky island green of the Par 3 18th - a lovely finishing hole.
Tonight, we went out to dinner in a stylish city restaurant. We all had Surubi, the local fish caught from the River Paraguay which flows thru the city. It was wonderful. Here's the Surubi at the fishmongers .. I think he looks a lot better on the plate !!
