Tyrrell lab retreat

On Wednesday, my lab went to the Devon Golf and Country Club on a retreat. This means that we spent most of the day in a conference room, each giving presentations on our projects. We had lunch and dinner in the clubhouse and enjoyed the scenery around us.After a day of talks, we went to the 'driving range' and hit some golf balls. This golf course, unfortunately, did not have a true driving range, just a net about 10m away into which you hit your balls. I tried to teach our summer student, Saleem, how to hold the golf club, describing how my dad taught me back at Easter. However, I don't really know that much about golf, so who knows if I was teaching him right.Jason came along later to give him some more pointers.And then here's me, whacking at the ball. Hey, at least I look like a golfer.
