I was in the Dominican Republic this past weekend at Punta Cana. It was very relaxing. I was last in the Dominican Republic in 1988 with the Harvard Jazz Band – things have certainly changed.
I was fortunate to get in a few rounds of golf, the first on Punta Espada – a new Nicklaus design in the Cap Cana resort area. Talk about spectacular! At 7,396 yards from the tips and 6,800+ from where we played it was tough. The thirteenth is most likely the signature hole – a 230 yard par 3 over the ocean. Despite a bail out area to the right, my ball is currently “sleeping with the fishes!”
So, having started the golfing season on a high note (and yes – my score was high too) – I’m ready to get out there and work on my game.
