More golf!

Mimi and I were invited out to play golf at the Pilar Golf Club this weekend. It is a private course about an hour from downtown.

It is one of the few courses in BA with golf carts, with 27 holes and probably the ONLY course which has 4 chandeliers in the lobby of the clubhouse! It was quite spectacular. Our golfing wasn't but no complaints. It also had security guards circulating on the course driving golf carts.

It has a 645 yard, par 6 hole. It was Hoya 9 of the Cancha Colorada, which was our finishing hole. You just keeping hitting and hitting....and hitting! A ball retriever came in handy too as water crossed the hole several times.

Anyways - we played with some nice folks who are members. He is a drilling mud salesman from Texas (Texas A&M logo proudly displayed on his Toyota HiLux SUV) and his wife is an Australian from Melbourne. This is their second time living in Argentina. They were here in the late '90's. They are probably the only people we have met that say the prices are reasonable because they were last here when the peso = US dollar before the crash in 2000/01.

We could get spoiled playing golf there again.
