Having a swim at the beach, heat of summer and a long day for New Year’s Day!

Happy New Year! Two day trip to Uruguay to celebrate the New Year of 2014 at Punta del Este, Uruguay, what a party! Played the Club de Golf del Uruguay & Cantegril Country Club. Two ferry rides, four bus rides without any reservations during the holiday season and one taxi ride with two other guys a la Trains, Planes & Automobiles movie. Sleeper bus (the bus system in this part of the world is fantastic) to play Córdoba Golf Club Friday & Saturday, where the heart of Argentinean golf lies… I can’t believe I will be stateside in Orlando at the 2014 PGA Show in a little over two weeks time! All the best to you in 2014! (-:   (Facebook Post 11 Pics, Andy Reistetter, 1/2/14)
