I like the concept of a place called “WINE VALLEY”

So, I asked my Mum to look into getting 5 x tee times at the CDA Resort on Saturday 18th July. It’s going to be tricky because that is peak season for them, Covid be damned.
Thankfully it turns out they keep a number of tee times aside every day for high rollers and VIPs who might take a last minute fancy to playing. And guess who’s on the VIP list?! Yup, my mother.
Understand it’s still up in the air right now but thought I’d mention it.
Also, if everyone wanted to meet in Seattle and drive to CDA via Gamble Sands, I would totally be down for that.

… so, we’ve got 5 x tee times reserved between 10 & 11am on Sat 18th July. We don’t need to pay anything right now as they totally understand we have no fucking clue what’s going on with flights and borders. But they will keep them for us right up til a few days beforehand if needs be.
Turns out they also do tee times at Black Rock and Circling Raven, which I didn’t know. Circling Raven is pay & play but Black Rock is normally member guest only. So that’s cool in case anyone is interested. I’ve played it and it’s spectacular.
They’re also going to work out a good price for hotel rooms at the Resort, in case anyone fancies it. Last time I shot a movie in town they gave me rooms for $50 a night, but it was October, so it won’t be anything like that. Plus the owners are family frievds and did me a favour. I’ll keep you posted.
Oh, and following on from my message this morning, the flights are all looking okay again. I think I must have hit it at a bad time when they were swapping out schedules or something. I’m probably going to book flights tomorrow and hope for the best.

That’s correct. I would consider it, but I don’t know if I’m posh enough to be in Mr. Cad’s presence.

That’s one of the most shocking things about the man. While flaunting his old money and difficult-to-really-grasp social connections, he’s incredibly down to earth and willing to slum it with us.
I mean, what else can you ask for??
