Played and survived.
What a different experience of playing a “short course”. Hmmm. The first three holes are not only a test of your golf skills but of your fitness levels. As you stand on the first tee, little do you realise as you look up the hill that you’re actually heading up…up…and up again.

1. Juno – 3.5/5
Don’t think about this one too much. Watch it for a laugh, without BF in tow. It’s a chick flick. A good laugh for an hour or so. The main character – Juno – is very funny. I look forward to seeing the actress take on different roles in the future.
2. 27 Dresses – [...]
