Australia and NZ are close enough to the international dateline for most of the rest of the world to be "behind" us. So yes, I was taking notes and then sitting down and typing later, usually with a bit of time to think. Press centres like the one you see here were handy, because you could leave our portable there and head off out on to the course for the best part of the day. Happily, the amazing story of Horacio Carbonetti fell at just the right time for me - in Scotland late Friday morning, in Australia late Friday night, just ahead of deadline. So I knew I had that story to myself, at least for Australian consumption - a bit of a "scoop" for me!

Did you just jot down important moves that you'd elaborate on later, or did you write full paragraphs? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
