Golf with my new friend Tom from Wisconsin at Flamingos Golf Course, a beautiful track (Flamingos Golf is a 6853 yard long par 72 championship course with slightly narrow fairways that are naturally laid out on gently sloping terrain. The course has Bermuda grass in both fairways and greens and has 9 water hazards and 43 bunkers, most of which protect the approaches into its slightly fast greens. Flamingos has an excellent design that will allow you to obtain dramatic results if you plan your strategy well and play target golf. This includes not only ball placement on fairways but also club selection on holes that have ocean breeze and smart pitching. The course has 4 tee-off marks and will accommodate long and short distance hitters and will provide the right level of challenge for players of different levels. In addition, Flamingos Golf has a 230 yard long practice range and putting green facilities. Also available are our golf professional and course marshals who will eagerly help you with any aspect of your game.)
Flamingos Golf Course (I joined three players who were all retired and in their 70s and were all good golfers. Two of the fellows were from Canada, one a native Newfoundlander and the other originally from Ontario. The other player, Tom, lived most of his life in Wisconsin where he was a music teacher and band director. He and his wife retired to Colorado some years ago. All of these fellows now spend the winters in Mexico on the Riviera Narayit.)
