I had the opportunity to play golf in Ecuador in July. I did it at Club Arrayanes located in one of the pretty valleys surrounding Quito, Ecuador’s capital. What a beautiful experience. It is like playing with the Incas’ Gods. One fairway was on top of a hill and the other on the top of another, you needed to hit a 250 drive to safely land on the next fairway. Otherwise your ball ends up 700 feet down a cliff. The greens are handsomely manicured and the views breathtaking. Guillermo Gonzalez, the director of the Club guided me around the course, we had a nice round. His house is by the 13th hole so we made a pit stop there for beer. This course is one of a kind. Here is a video that shows the amenities that Club Arrayanes has to offer.
G.McKenna Golf Haiku
Gigantic driver Fuels my testosterone dreams Three-hundred yard drive.
Gotta get a grip On this game that has gripped me Before it gives me the grippe.
My ball is engulfed By autumn’s crimson bounty Perils of fall golf.
Chipmunk takes cover Knows the stone wall may save him From my wicked slice.
Smashed it off the tee. But why did my second shot Only go ten yards?
Three-foot downhill putt Just keeps going and going. Now six feet back up.
Winter rules beckon Even in the August heat. Don’t heed that siren’s call.
Splashdown in the pond A chorus of croaks erupts Laughter of the frogs.
Snack bar girl so cute Even though I’m not hungry Gimme another hotdog.
Kerplunk. Rattle. Plop. Sweet euphony on the green. Sunk another putt.
