"Prince's home extremely late after play group?" (6)

I scored: 2 under par

(Now back home, so more time to spend on this kind of thing!)

That one was very easy so I don't know why a 3 under par score was available!

I'm going to try a few others while drinking my coffee, before heading out on my bike into the sunshine that I brought back down from the Highlands...
