Yeah, you're still thinking of gardening.

And the view from the UNM Championship course, looking down on the city...is hard to beat.

Twin Warriors also has fantastic views and a great course, albeit a bit more expensive...given that it's connected to the Hyatt-Regency (as is the less expensive Santa Ana).

Then there's Sandia, which has great views and being on the slopes of the Sandia's (plus the altitude)...allows for some really long drives.

Even Isleta is nice.

Halfway to Santa Fe on I-25, and a bit off the beaten trail, is another awesome value course...Cochiti Golf Club.

But the all-time best value I've EVER played...is Arroyo Del Oso (one of 3 city courses). When I first started playing it 15 years ago, it was $18 to walk and the greens were as nice & fast...as ANY resort/private course.

And then when you get up to the Santa Fe area, which is only an hour from Abq., there are some nationally ranked courses also.

All in all, "The Land of Entrapment" ( the local name by some)...is a hidden jewel for golfers.

Wow! You do know that turf very well. At one time I lived on the street on the east side of the Arroyo Del Oso course.

BTW I hope you enjoyed the chile however it was prepared and sopaipillas in Old Town.

Red or green?

The absolute best tamales I've ever had, were made by the lady who was burned by the coffee...in the infamous McDonald's incident.

She was my buddy's, children's...Godmother.

As for the McDonald's incident, I will just say that it isn't anything like it was portrayed and my buddy actually told me the real story one day while playing together...which we did about 3-4 times a week.

I was, like most, critical of the lawsuit from just what I had read and then I started researching on my own...because of what Frenchy had told me.

The fact that he was the retired Deputy Chief of the State Police...pretty much speaks to his integrity and truthfulness.

Anyway, I love Abq. in particular...and New Mexico in general.
