Morelia Golf Lessons
One of the main factors in our decision to retire in Morelia was the opportunity to play golf along with many other recreational activities that would help keep our minds occupied and our bodies busy. Tres Marias Residential Golf Course is a signature Jack Nicholas design and one of the most beautiful and challenging courses I have had the opportunity to play. The course has 27 holes, with each 9 hole course offering different topography and difficulty of play.
This blog will show Sandra taking lessons on the first 9 holes (the flattest and easier of the 27 holes.)
Once a week now for the past 6 months Sandra and I have been taking lessons with golf professional Jorge. Sandra had an advantage of never having played golf in her life and thus having no bad habits to correct. David has had to completely relearn a new, correct swing. Sandra has a perfect swing and is improving weekly, as her confidence grows. Sandra loves the beautiful manicured grass on the course and her biggest fear is taking a divot. When she digs up a little lawn with her swing she is not happy. Jorge is telling her it's ok to hit the grass.
Jorge teaching Sandra the proper swing, follow through, and balance.

Sandra teeing it up and preparing to drive the ball over the lake. Those of you that have played golf know the psychological factors of hitting the ball over water. She is learning to just concentrate on her "swing" and keeping her head down, and eyes on the ball.
This final picture shows Sandra's caddy Antonio Avalos. Antonio is a great help with choosing the correct club, the correct line for putts, and helping us find lost balls. We average about 4 lost balls per 9 holes, so when you come to visit bring plenty of balls. Just kidding, we have more than enough balls, as the workers sell lost balls they find on the course. A future post will have pictures of David struggling with his game as I try to find some consistency and mental toughness. My greatest worry now is that Sandra is going to beat me in the near future. We play 9 holes of golf once a week and really enjoy the time together and the beauty and serenity of the course. We try and play a different 9 holes each week.
