midweek round

We played Makelei on a week day when there were very few playing. Pace of play was wonderful. The course has some great views and great wildlife-even an albino pheasant. it is an interesting course but it is in pretty bad shape-a lot of damage from wild pigs.

We enjoyed the course enough to return for a second round while on vacation on the island.

I love 18, 2 good swings and a couple of putts!
