As once said jolly Paddy Gannon, an elderly Irishman I met on the links in Connemara in 2005, as I stood over a shot, plotting for distance and rise to the green: “and there’s wind a factor as well.” It blows hot and steady off the volcanoes. Gonna be fun. Passed one car, one pickup, one motorcycle, one man pushing an mtb, and one vaquero. People were chill and dogs chiller, except for one who gave it a good shot, a few feet off my left foot for 100 meters, barking his best with a hint of a growl. But really, who wants to work that hard in this heat?
