January 30, 2016. Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. The Golf Club.

Sitting on the balcony looking out on the 18th fairway is an ideal place to have lunch.  You can watch the whole final hole from tee to putt.   You get to see the errant shots and the missed puts and calculate their final score just by how they play the last hole.  Today a group from an all inclusive resort, Marival, had come to play.  As each group finished, they came to the deck for a drink.  There was a bus load full.  After each group completed their round, the others on the balcony cheered and heckled.  It was a festive atmosphere and lots of fun.  Three days a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, a group comes from the Marival to play at our golf course.

The service is slow at the gold club so we four enjoy our leisurely lunch, which always includes looking at birds.  I saw my first Great Kiskadee from this balcony many years ago.  Today we were sitting at the edge.  On the other side of the low wall is a hedge full of red flowers, which were attracting hummingbirds.  We saw several right beside me.  Now I must look up their name.

Over the years,  we have enjoyed several beautiful places we like to go for lunch.  The balcony of the golf club is one of the most enjoyable, not the least is that the same waiter looks after us every time we come.  Every year he is there and every year he greets us warmly and looks after our every need.  Today was our first time to have lunch at the golf club this season.  It will not be the last.
