Day 5 - Golf at Miklagard GC - Fly to Evenes

Early start today, awoke to beautiful blue skies in Oslo. Quick breakfast then taxi out to Miklegard Golf Club. By the time we arrived there was a heavy fog, but we teed off at 8am, could barely see the ball but managed ok. It was a shame we didn't really get to see much of the course at that time, only 100m in each direction.

The clubhouse roof is grass!!

Foggy start

I played in a cart and soon discovered that my chin is actually involved in both my back swing and follow through - ouch! I worked out a way to minimise this and was soon hitting the ball reasonably well - started with a 3 pointer - yeah. The pins were all up the back

The fog gradually lifted and we could see a lot better. Very nice course, fairways were lush and the tiered greens ran well. Some interesting holes, lots of water and trees. 

Sean had 29 points and I had 24 points - not bad for our first game 

They have 5 choices of tee box, numbered 1-5 - you choose your distance

We got round in 3:45 and then headed for the airport to catch our flight to Evenes with SAS. 1.5 hours, very smooth with some amazing views of the Lofoten Islands as we were coming in. It was a very warm 21 degree's when we arrived

Evenes is a VERY small town. There is a US Military presence so not allowed to take pictures at the airport etc.. NATO planes on the ground. There is one hotel and a Bar & Grill down the hill. The room is teeny tiny and like all hotels here they give you 2 doonas.Dinner at the Grill was delicious

Hotel 

Tomorrow we have a 3-4 hour drive to Lofoten Links - the Northern most Links Golf course in the world....... just a little bit excited  😀 Into the Arctic Circle we go. Fine weather is forecast.

Here is a quick update on my bruises, luckily the only pain I really have is my chin and mouth, despite the bruises the rest of me is working well (touching wood). I have spat out a few stitches today so clearly the ones in my mouth are dissolving and I can eat a little bit more interesting food finally!
