I made a phenomenal decision today.
I sat watching the Open.
Despite Tiger Woods missing the cut on Friday evening, it still made compelling viewing.
For a fleeting moment when I awoke, I contemplated heading West to see how the development of our heroes is progressing.
They've been training together for a few weeks now and surely we could expect some positives to be apparent. Couldn't we?
The simple answer is, we were outclassed by the Dog and Duck second eleven in a small Cotswold village.
A reported crowd of around 700, including over 100 Addicks, witnessed a 3-1 defeat for a rag bag Charlton XI against a Forest Green Rovers side who were having the first outing of their season.
Despite being a few weeks behind Charlton in their preparations, they completely outclassed their supposedly superior visitors.
Back to the training ground for Parkinson's troops I hope.
