Bob's Golf Outting - San Andrés Golf Club

On Monday I joined Maria Teresa Maldanado for a round of golf at San Andrés Golf Club, Bogotá, Colombia. This was quite an experience. The course and club house were outstanding. The clubs Maria let me use (her husband's clubs) were Callaway Fusion irons, with a nice Big Bertha driver. We all had caddies, which was a first for me. My caddie Guillermo was great. He helped me sink some really long putts with his ability to read the greens. I started the front nine with a triple bogey (some sand fun 2x), but was able to finish with a 44. I had my first legit/real attempt at an eagle in about 15 years, but I lipped the 5 foot putt unfortunately. Struggled a bit on the back but finished with a 94 which I can't be too upset with.

This course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, who has had his hands on hundreds of major courses, including the redesign of Augusta National in Georgia.

The club house had a workout center and an indoor swimming pool.

My caddie was on the left (Guillermo). They were all very pleasant and kind.

Here I am coming up 18 to wrap up the round. It was a great day of golf.
And one last shot of Guillermo, my caddie. I would have been above 100 without him, no doubt.

Couple Cute Photos of the Bambino

Here are a few cute photos of the bambino from the other night. She was having fun playing with her Mommy.



There's a happy Bebe!


Here's Bella holding Daddy's hand.

Last Night that all Father's were here.

Sunday night was the last night all of us were here together so we went for some Italian food at Archie's around the corner.




Then we returned home to Alicia and the 3 bambinos and had some fun taking photos.
Laura has mastered the art of automatic timer photography so we were able to get some good ones.

Here we are after we returned home from dinner with Alicia on the left, and Sonya on the right. One big happy familia.



Here we are all wearing our medical masks to avoid spreading the plague back and forth.
At least we have a sense of humor I guess.


Here I am with the closest thing to "Hazel" (my dog) I could find, so I had to get a picture with her. This dog was just around the corner from Betty's Place. I think she even barks like Hazel. We have heard her quite often, even in the middle of the night, so Isabella has had some Hazel training.
