The defending champion equalled the course record of 64 at Le Meridien, while a round of 68 from Lawrie leaves the Scot well placed on the leaderboard in the Algarve. The first round was briefly interrupted when a parachute fluttered down close to where Scott Drummond, David Park and Robert Coles were playing on the fifth fairway. The parachute had been jettisoned by a skydiver, who landed safely at a nearby airfield using his reserve chute. Five of his colleagues then landed on the course to retrieve the stray parachute. The three golfers who were interrupted all finished their round in 73 blows. Tournament official Paul Carrigill said: "There was no real hold-up. The players had a look and got on with it and the parachutists were extremely apologetic."Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reginald 0 #3 March 31, 2006 Okay the only skydiving and golf related joke I know... How are skydivers and golfers similar? Golfers go "WACK....shit" and skydivers go "SHIT...WACK!" "We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things." CP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
