Well, we did ok at the golf tournament. My brother was supposed to play with us but he couldn't make it so we were a little handicapped but we managed to sport a 62 for the day. Man, what a fun day. The golf tournament was for the Cochiti Braves baseball team. There were mostly natives playing which made it interesting when a couple of beers have been consumed. I think it made the white dudes kind of neverous to hear the 'yips'! and 'aye aye's!' calls when a team sunk a putt. Some of them were loud. Dang it was great.
That course is beautiful is nested in hills near Cochiti Pueblo. It was windy but it was fun to play. My putting was way on. I putted a 25 footer and we got and eagle but snubbed that with a lame-assed 5 foot bogey at the 18th. If we had made that hole, we would have tied for first. After the round, we had lunch and had a raffle. Boy, I wanted to win a Hooters calendar but with my luck I got nothing.
Alot of the Pueblos out here have a golf courses and the are all well staffed and get good business. Man, they have their shit together. With all that land out in Dinetah, I wish we could have one course where a sheepherder can play on a day off. Canyon De Chelly golf course? Window Rock Golf Resort? Navajo Links and Country Club? Geez, we are way behind in the biz of tourism. Oh well, we can just depend on Monument Vally horseback tours and Jeep trails in Canyon De Chelly I guess. Dang, no beer though.......forget it.
