Christmas morning we went back to the Lomas Santa Fe Exec Golf course because it is our favorite so far. It was much cooler today--mid sixties with some bright sun and some dark clouds. While we were on the course we got a few sprinkles and some wind, but it went through pretty fast.
This golf course has two holes on each green: a regular hole and a fifteen inch hole. I'm not sure who would play the 15 inch holes, but they're there if you don't want to try for the regular hole.
We did better with the sand bunkers this time. We each only got in twice. Here's a photo of Sandra getting out of a bunker. I just take the penalty and put my ball out. I don't have the skill for chipping out of the sand yet.
My overall score was only a little better than last time, but I got my first birdie (one under par)! I was pitching the ball onto the green from about 5 yards out and it rolled right into the hole! I also got 2 pars (one shows on the 9 hole scores below and one in the first nine holes). Sandra also got 2 pars and her score was a lot better than last time, although still not her best. (This screen shot is my golf scoring app from my iphone.)
After we golfed, we came back to our hotel, sat in the hot tub a while, then spent the rest of the day playing games and eating snacks. It was a fun Christmas day!
