Saturday

I managed to get my golf-fix on Saturday and I played at Pau Golf Club again.
Unfortunately, only 11 holes were open due to the damage from the storms.

However, the weather could only be describer as perfect; the sun was shining and it was cool due to a light breeze.

So, I played 11 holes alone as nobody else had booked to play the same time as me. Moreover, there were four-balls in front and behind me.

I actually played pretty well and the course was in good condition apart from some soggy patches but that was to be expected considering the magnitude of the storms.


By the time I had finished playing, it was time for lunch.
I decided to try the club's restaurant and there was a 2 course deal with coffee or tea for 12 euros. Although you could have 4-courses for the same price at le Cafe des Sports, I thought it would be nice to try the club's food (to compare it with RSGC!) and, since it was a perfect day, to lunch on the terrace.

I had an excellent bowl of potage to start with and then some aiguillettes de confit de canard (strips of duck confit) with salad and french fries. The portion of confit was extremely generous and it was very tender and the chips were delicious as I suspect they were fried in duck fat.

A very satisfying meal indeed.
