I wasn’t clever enough to get past Golf Superintendent Neil Cleverly even though I had a bonafide invitation from the Golf Course Architect Neil Hanse. Doesn’t the architect trump the superintendent? Oh well, I will have to come back to Rio to play the Olympic Golf Course some day soon!
Rio seems even more beautiful after the Olympics! Off to do you know what, hoping to play the Olympic Golf Course today! (Facebook Post with 1 video, Andy Reistetter, 8-23-16)

LOL, here is a retake of a lost video taken right after Inbee Park’s Olympic Triumph last Saturday! These 120 Olympic Golfers brought the Spirit of Olympic Golf back to life after 112 years! TROML Baby! (Facebook Post with 1 video, Andy Reistetter, 8-23-16)
“Hell, I saw one mosquito the whole time I was down there and it was at the bar at the Hilton drinking a Jack Daniels because I don’t think it trusted the water.” Only Feherty could come up with a great line like this! (Facebook Post with 1 link, Andy Reistetter, 8-23-16)

Now 0-for-2 on playing the Olympic Golf Course… just missed out on the outing yesterday and today the superintendent politely but firmly told me it ain’t going to happen without prior authorization. So next step is to go through diplomatic channels… any Olympic Diplomats out there? Went down to Itahanga GC but they had a NIKE outing. Hey, the Olympics is over, shouldn’t everyone be back to work by now? LOL. Nice tour of Barra da Tijuca & came across some fascinating net fishing… the place reminded me of Confluence Park in Binghamton, the nets reminded me of smelt fishing with Dad growing up… I am bushed, up at 6 am, time for a nap… big day tomorrow with Museum of Tomorrow & Sugarloaf!
