DEAN ROBERTSON REPORTS FROM SLOVENIA --- SCOTS DOING WELL

MESSAGE FROM DEAN ROBERTSON

Stirling University golf coach

2017 Slovenian International Amateur Championship:

Delighted to report we (Gemma Batty, Chloe Goadby, Tara Mactaggart, Jennifer Saxton and I) finally arrived at our destination and venue for this year's Slovenian Amateur. HOWEVER, Tuesday travel did not quite go to plan!

6am KLM flight from Glasgow to Graz via Amsterdam went all wrong due to initial delay in Glasgow which meant we missed our connecting flight in Amsterdam.

KLM then directed us via Berlin. HOWEVER, when we arrived in Berlin we were to find out they had NOT booked us on a forwarding flight with Air Berlin to Graz as was indicated by them.

So we had to go on a (wild) goose chase and eventually secured a flight with Lufthansa via Munich, then finally on another flight into Graz last night. 🙃😴

As to whereabouts of our luggage and golf clubs?? 😂 Who was to know their whereabouts in Europe. However, two sets of hire clubs were at the ready to share between the four girls if required but thankfully clubs arrived in 11th hour.

Not ideal prep, but invaluable experience and 

just like life on 'Tour' where ability to improvise, remain calm and stay patient is name of game when these kind of things happen! 

Can only put it down to an "extended student 'learning' experience!" My words not the girls! : )

Weather stunning with light winds on the 6,200yrd Livada golf course and girls settling down now midway through secod round of 72 hole championship.

All in all: SLOVENIA is a magical country! 👌🌞

🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬

Kind regards

Dean Robertson
