“I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay, watchin’ time fade away…”
Well, I would be, if Otis Redding were here and helping me sing. I’m not much of a singer, but I’d still beat him if I gave him 3 per side.
Whilst I’m sittin’ here thinkin’ about golf vacations, now that fall has started to cool our air, I find myself wanting to play golf somewhere warm, where the food is as spicy as the people are.
When you look at the pro’s on tour and watch the Food Network, like I do, I see a great combo in Sergio Garcia and the spicy, hearty dishes of Spain.
My man Sergio is certainly spicy, or at least fiery. Although we quelled those fires a bit here in Kentucky when the American’s beat the Euro’s for the Ryder Cup.
And the food in Spain is certainly fiery, spicy and hearty.
While doing my research, I came across a Robert Trent Jones course called El Bosque, which sounds like quite a success story.
It’s a hilly course and you’re often faced with a sloping lie, sidehill lies, so you’ll have to bring your A-Game.
Even though the hazards are visible, they’re very dangerous and should be avoided. You’ll also have to play blind approach shots to greens.
The holes blend in well with the landscape, and the design and difficulties vary considerably. In particular there are four beautiful dog-legs and the par 3′s are of a particularly high quality.
Although the course is surrounded by homes, it’s American styling ensures that the course and the properties blend together well and players aren’t disturbed or distracted by the houses on the course boundary
I love Robert Trent Jones courses and I love food prepared in the Spanish style, so this sounds like the perfect Spanish golf holiday to me.
All I need now is a great golf package and for somebody to hook me up with a golf hotel in Spain?
