Ben,
The food might have been better then the golf. Pit roasted cabeza, along withfresh totillas, salsa, and Nopalitos was quite the meal. I could have just kept eating!
As for the golf. Heather was very good at following Robert's advice, so she stayed out of trouble, knew when to be conservative and just keep the ball in play, and she made some putts. Her most impressive shots, to me, was the 60-80 yard approaches that she bumped in with a flat faced club. The rest of us were trying to do sort of the same, but she never tried to get too greedy. We could have scored better, but play around the greens was very tough, and she had a better knack that day. I'm with you, just as I was yesterday, in that most courses would not have suited her style. The firm turf paid off her controlled drives with some roll, and the firm approaches gave her confidence that her shots would come off as planned. One thing we tried very hard to do when we built WP, and in the way we care for the course, is to make the greens and the areas around the greens play the same. We built them out of the same soil, and when we verticut the greens, we verticut around the greens. When we top dress the greens, we top dress around the greens.
The course was far from easy yesterday, but Heather took advantage of Robert's knowledge to leave herself in a position where she could stay in the hole. She rarely reached a green in regulation, and when she couldn't, she hit it to a spot where she could have a go with the next shot.
As for playing other courses as well, maybe, but I'm with Ben on this one. She really doesn't hit the ball in the air a lot, especially with irons. It was a credit to her that she played to her strengths. But, she would struggle on courses that favor the aerial game, or at the very least, courses that take away the ground game.
