Relaxing Night, Great German Breakfast – Gasthof Hohensteiger, Rosenheim, Bavaria.
It was a relaxing overnight’s stay at Rosenheim, Germany and about a 2-hour drive from Bad Greisback and our destination for this week’s Porsche European Open.
We stopped for the night at the Gasthof Hohenstieger in the town of Rosenheim and located in the Bavarian region of Germany.
And check out the great breakfast to help send us on our way to a tournament last staged in 2009 at the London Club in Kent.
So danka to everyone at the Gasthof Hohsteigher for looking after us so well.
Monza & The Italian Open – A Nostalgic Return 25 Years After Maiden Visit.
Bizarrely, the nostalgia of recent weeks jumped up to surprise me at this week’s 72nd Italian Open in Monza.
It was the first return of the championship to the Milan Golf Club since 1990 when England’s Richard Boxall captured the event wearing a plain yellow shirt and admitting when I caught up with him on Tuesday, he had simply ran out of shirts.

And they say golf is boring!
Well today I had one of the most thrilling experiences for some time and it was not on the golf course.
No, as the leaders made their way to the first tee for the final round of the 72nd Italian Open, I made my way to very nearby Monza Grand Prix circuit.
With a very special thank you to Mercedes I was invited to first sit behind the wheel of a gleaming 503 bhp 4-litre V8 GTS coupe for a lap of the circuit that a fortnight ago saw Lewis Hamilton capture a second straight ...

However it took 77 years from the time the first light bulb was invented in 1802 to 1879 when Thomas Edison patented an incandesent light bulb boasting a carbonized bamboo filament that could last over 1200 hours.

Bernie Struggles Simply To Even Move The Ball Off The Tee.
Yes, I know what you’re saying – Bernie has always struggled to get the ball off the tee.

But as you can see it was not your normal Callaway Chrome!

Port Washington, Wisconsin – A Charming Lake Michigan Gem.
It’s been some weeks since the PGA Championship but there was a charming little town we visited on the Saturday morning of the year’s final Major – Port Washington.
Knowing little about the area in general it was naturally a great surprise to spend a few hours ‘discovering’ the township located about 25 miles north of Milwaukee.
Firstly, it continues to surprise me in attending major sportinng events that local tourism bodies including in this case www.visitportwashington.com ...
