Adam's apple bounces far

Even though Kerstin stopped working last week, taking two weeks holiday before entering maternity leave, the nice early summer weather stayed. We put the odds for a weather change quite high, but this year seems really different as over the past weeks the nice weather also remained for the weekends. Meeting up with friends, a few doctor appointments and some other bureaucratic issues to be sorted out were as well on the programme as relaxing on the terrace in the sun, doing yoga or just hanging out.

Markus and Peter came up with a good idea – a classical win-win-situation for everyone – for Sunday – Mother’s Day: a day in the beautiful area of Ramsau/Adamstal. The two boys went early morning for a round of golf at GC Adamstal, one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in Austria and the two moms-to-be arrived afterwards, accompanied by Mimi, Bruno as well as Max & Leo for lunch and a walk through the nice nature around there. The boy’s golf on the course of former rally champion and Austrian golf league president Franz Wittmann can be characterised with “mixed emotions”, we both lost quite a lot of balls on this very hilly course but very much enjoyed the round as the course was pretty empty and there was neither pressure from behind nor were we held up by slow players in front of us.

Perfect fairways and greens with great panoramic view

After very good lunch at the clubhouse – where staff was similarly friendly as all other staff on the course (including the Marshal!) – the 8 of us ventured out for a walk into the valley alongside the 9-hole course. Not only Max had lots of fun running through the woods and playing at a little water wheel but also the big boys were happy as they managed to bring their net-golf ball balance almost into positive territory as they picked up a lot of lost balls in the streambed and the woods. The day was – also thanks to the nice weather – so relaxing and beautiful that we might repeat it next year again. Let’s see if we will remember that in 12 months time and we marked the start of a tradition.
