The TV programme - Beyond Tomorrow - aired tonight in Australia with a segment about Topgolf in Washington DC. I mentioned a while back about the interview I did for the show and it turns out I do actually feature! It broadcast on Channel 7 in Australia so if you didn’t catch it then look out for repeats soon. I believe that it also goes out on the Discovery Channel so those of you in other places may also get to see it.

London, its a busy place to live. Last night the dogs, tonight dinner in Egham with the family from Lions River, tomorrow night in to town for the Razorlight concert at the Royal Albert Hall, Sunday is the Oxford Cambridge boat race and afterwards Simon has organised us tickets to the official Cambridge boat race afterparty.
Work is also a busy place to be right now. I am spending a lot of my time between Birmingham and London trying to ensure our latest project is ready for the London Golf Show in a few weeks time. Posting has taken a backseat recently, but you can occupy yourselves by reading through Peksta’s recent trip to London with some of the photos now up.
Finally spring is here, my 2nd full winter in London is over and I am almost certain I wouldn’t want to face another two. Living here you really do appreciate the onset of Spring and imminent arrival of Summer. South African’s (less capetonians than others) have very little appreciation for the arrival of summer. I have not worn a pair of shorts for almost 5 months, appreciate that my legs look like wax paper and my sandals are in serious need of a bit of exercise.
Last night I made my way across to Walthamstow in NW London to enjoy one of my favourite London pastimes - Greyhound racing.
I have been to the dogs probably only 4 times in the last 3 years but it really is something worth doing every now and again in London. The facilities are really good, the atmosphere is exciting, the beer is cold and the dogs, well, they round round a track and win you money. Just like the horses, people get really excited, scream and shout, jump up and down, willing their dog to win. Unlike the horses, this has the distinct feeling of being a working mans pastime, probably the Sport of Jesters rather than the Sport of Kings.
I arrived with only £20 in my pocket which was enough for the three course dinner we were having but certainly not enough when you’re “trackside”. I needed an ATM fast, or so I thought. I laid a £2 trifecta bet on the first race, how difficult can it be to pick the first 3 dogs in a 6 dog race? Not at all difficult, I won 40 quid! That set me up sweetly for the rest of the evening as I went on to make about £160 from my measly £20. What a great night all round, only disapointment was missing out on the legendary Charlie Chans nightclub afterwards!
