Straight out of Guatemala

After spending 7 days in the Guatemala I guess I should just be happy I didn't come back with Mad Cow or the Clap! All I heard before I went was to avoid beef, lettuce, and the whore house. I managed to avoid 1 of 3 and both things I tried included a fork. We stayed in a fantastic 5 star hotel in Guatemala City called the Clarion Suites. It was surrounded by fantastic restaurants, great casinos and decent shopping. We rode a bus north of the city and up a mountain every day to place called San Isidro. One of the most beautiful country clubs I have ever been too in my life. It overlooks Guatemala City, stares at 2 volcanoes, and has some of the fastest greens I have ever played in my life. As for the golf tournament I made the cut after a 79-72 which put in in 30 position going into the weekend but I struggled for 80-79 on the weekend and finished 57th. Obviously these scores sound like I should be playing in the 10 year old division in your local club championship but the conditions to play in were brutal. 30 mph winds and greens rolling 12, made birdies hard to come by and bogeys coming in bunches. I have played 3 US Amateurs and this is right up there with playing Oakmont. I hate to use excuses, but the place was just ridiculous. I will be back with some stories later in the week, right now I have to watch how Maryland managed to give a up a 20 point lead with 11 minutes left and flush our NCAA dreams down the toilet in the process. I have posted some pictures on my blog website check them out. www.johnnyeades.blogspot.com
