Regular readers will know that golf is not one of my sports. You will know that because I don't think I've ever mentioned it on these pages. Ever, But that might soon change.
A friend of the family has a daughter on the Japanese tour so there are visitors here this week in support. Today I was supposed to be on a golf course (a first) watching...but alas, she just missed the cut this weekend. 'What can we do?' they asked, I mentioned my surf history research and that they weren't far from the 2020 Olympic venue, if they were interested.

So yep, there we were, in the rain, watching a waveless surf for a few hours. Probably on a par with whacking a little white ball around undulating fields when you think about it.
But another Saturday spent going to the beach for research purposes. Not a bad day job really.
