Golf Course Phase III
Hola Amigos,
Just figured it was time to get out there and write a little on what has been happening the last week...
Iguana rented the D-5 bulldozer / tractor so our Shaper, William, could complete the rough shaping of holes 8 & 9 and also the newest area the Practice Range and Equestrian Area. Yes, Iguana is expanding in Phase III to add one more hole, another practice range and equestrian area. When Niels was asked why the additional hole was needed, he responded, "I needed the golf course to have more fluidity. It was a nice 9 holes, but the area between holes 9 and 1 was too distant. Now one can play 18 holes repeating some holes from different Tee's and one hole gets to change from a challenging par 3 now to a monstrous par 4!" When the golf course superintendent, Jose, was asked of this change, he simply chuckled and said, "Many of us developing the course already felt challenged by the course and now we are afraid of getting out our clubs certainly raising our handicap. We will just stick to managing and developing at Iguana." Once the newest section is approved and plotted out on the map, we will post a new plan for you all to see.
Permits for Villa Rio Dulce condominiums have been turned in and we are told it is a matter of a week or so for approval. Here are the latest 3-D drawings!
Wild life keeps coming! When I started writing this today Luis came into the office and said, "Are you busy?" I was wondering what is it this time, when he further explained that I needed to break out the camera.... This magnificent sea turtle came ashore to lay her eggs. Luis continued, "We have to keep a watchful eye out for her! One of the guys down the beach is watching and waiting. Later we will remove the eggs and burry them where no one will find them! These eggs have a chance!" I could not agree more...Good thinking Luis.
By the way, surf is looking good....just look at the wave behind Selina the Sea Turtle. Steve says, "At least we know she is a girl!"
