First Golf Group at Iguana
Someone once whispered, "Build it and they will come!"
Well I say, "They have arrived!"
Iguana's very first golf group arrived this morning courtesy of Swiss Travel and the Ms. Euorpa cruise! 16 German golfers played 9 holes.
Afterwards I asked them what they thought. Elisbeth Schulten-Faust of Faust Golfreisen Tours said, "After coming down this road I was thinking to myself where are we going, now I am amazed!" One gentleman said that he has to ask Niels what was his line of thinking on number 9? I asked him if did he not like it? No! It is very nice and unique with a crossing fairway. He told me that you only see this style on old golf courses in England and Scotland!
Hopefully I will have an answer will be on my next Blogg.
Rather than going on and bragging here are the pictures!
Grand opening coming soon!
Happy 2007 from all of us at Iguana Beach Nicaragua!
Message for Marco, Gregorio, Juan y David and all our other Iguana Owners and friends... "You must come down to see what’s been happening! Yes, I have been real negligent in doing my monthly Blog! Call it writers block, call it holiday blues or just call it busy; anyway, here is my long overdue Blog! Things really have been so busy; I simply do not know where to begin. My best suggestion is for you to come down see everything with your own eyes."
1) Two weeks ago Lacayo commenced construction at Villa Rio Dulce…the newest condo project located at the South end of Iguana beach. What is commonly referred as Rio Colorado Surf Break.
2) Employee Christmas party was held in the new golf bodega and there was much dancing, food and of course cerveza!
3) New Golf Course Bodega is complete with new office for Golf Course Superintendent, showers, machine room, fertilizer storage, and even a mezzanine! (Jose could not wait to put up all of his awards and certificates for his office…maybe I can sneak my only one from Colombia in?)
4) Plaza El Pozo construction is well under way and is on the second floor for building I!
5) The ball washers have been placed on the course and final supplies and attire for the golf Pro-shop and administrative offices arrived. Our goal is to move into the wooden clubhouse next Friday! I will have pictures.
6) Villa Las Colinas building I is also under construction and now on the second floor.
7) The old bodega is being taken down
8) Electrification is nearly complete for the final section of Iguana!
9) The annual New Year’s Eve Owners Party was a blast and well attended. All went well with plenty of food, spirits, and traditional Nicaraguan celebrations on the beach…Sorry I forgot the camera...I was way too busy getting the Turkeys ready!
Who ever said a picture is worth a thousand words? We also missed photo options with yesterdays whale sightings and the turtles…sorry Charley no Tuna’s! Seems as if us “Vaquero Fans” will have to wait until next year.
Happy New Years to you all from all of us in Iguana!
