Double Rainbows, Beer and golf - thanks to nature.

Wonders of nature

20210612_092101.jpg

One of the best things to appreciate nature is to become a golfer. You spend between 3 and 4 hours wandering around a large woodland, seaside or other natural habitat. Throughout the years, I've seen rabbits, deer, squirels, badgers, foxes, sheep to name a few and here in Ireland, you get to experience every season too, but mainly the rain, which is what facilitated this lovely shot of a double rainbow. The photo does not do it justice, it was incredibly bright and vibrant.

Three things I love are Golf, beer and light and that holy trinity came together beautifully for me on this day. Nature and its processes facilitated the Moorgat family to begin making beer in 1871, which eventually arrived in Ireland for me to taste many years later.

"The history of Duvel Moortgat is based on respect for tradition and family values. Today it's the 4th generation of the family Moortgat who guards over the heritage of founder Jan-Leonard Moortgat and his two sons Albert and Victor."

I like that. A family beer.

Beautiful Belgian Beers

This week I am not doing a beer review as such for Beer Saturday, as everybody knows Duvel is a cracking beer. You can never go too far wrong with a Belgian beer and Duvel packs a punch at 8.5%. You won't be drinking too many of these bad boys without feeling it.

What's better than beer? Golf and beer ⛳ 🍺

Golf

The day started off with 18 holes of golf with a very good friend of mine. He kicked my ass on the course, as I am still really rusty after lock down, but I still really enjoyed it and had enough good shots to ve positive about. My game is slowly coming back, but its not flowing well. A great shot followed by two bad shots - that kind of thing. The conpany was great though.

Beer

The nice ice cold Duvel afterward was a great way to finish out a great day. The bar wasn't open yet, so this was back at my house. I'll let the photos do the talking.

Double Rainbows

We saw the amazing Double rainbow I mentioned at the start just before the par 3 7th 🌈

Much to my sons disappointment, we failed to find the pot of gold!
