A fine venue in a fine location and notable for being where Gary Wolstenhome defeats Tiger Woods in his last match as an amateur. Gloomy early, the weather clears and it's a glorious day. The sea is full of surfers so many in fact that very few people in South Wales seem to be doing a day's work. Perhaps they're all on benefits.

Tate's first drive of Tour is not a thing of beauty - a pull hook due left - but it's the only false stroke of the day and in the two-ball company of Fat-Boy they finish on top of the pile.

There's a couple of par 3's that test even the Muffins, but solace is found in the half-way hut where a decent cup of tea is served by a cute girlie.

Lunch is in the historic clubhouse and it's cod goujon's all round except for Bainey who plumps for the ham salad option.
