No problem Gringo, I will be wearing my flak jacket, pit helmet, combat boots and arriving in my "Night Rider" car. I'm gonna definitely have to reschedule a couple thing on Saturday to make sure I have time. Hope I don't get lost finding the place.

SantiagoDR, All you will need is your club. I'm sure Grahame will loan you one of his...........
Why is it that its good to score under par in golf but its bad to be under par in anything else?
Have a great day SantiagoDR.
I think SantiagoDR said he would not be playing golf with us, just coming to visit us & introduce himself. If you are playing SantiagoDR, I will let you use a couple of old clubs & I will certainly bring some Balls for you. ~ Grahame.
On that last note, I have my own.
BushBaby, I have been chatting with a DR1 member on PM and via E-mail about DR residency and Computer LCD monitors. He is in Sosua, and if I can get the chance today I will get over to Migracion and get the Formularia and other forms for him. Hopefully I can give them to you and you can take them back to P.P. / Sousa area and arrange for him to pick them up. Saving him a trip to Santiago and/or Santo Domingo.
BTW, he's a UK'er..... ukdrf is his user-name, and his name is Zack
I am SURE you will be capable of giving them to me SantiagoDR - was that intended as a REQUEST for me to get them up to Zack? Of COURSE I will help Zack wherever I can - he knows that after 3 or 4 years of me being a moderator on his website. He can then either pop over to my house next time he is in Puerto Plata or I can drop them off in Sosua the following weekend! Let me know if you have any problems getting over to Migracion & then I will ring a contact in Migracion Santo Domingo & ask her to put them on Metro or Caribe tours to me! ~ Grahame.
As some of you are playing golf regulary on the Las Aromas course, how would you describe the shape of the course right now, I played a few times some years ago (2000?).
At that time the course was very dry and with a lack of maintenance, did they install irrigation in the meantime?
Is it worth to drive up from the capital?

American English vs British English
Zack being from the U.K., I figured there would be no need for a "Request" for you to help a fellow U.K. ex-pat......
As an American ex-pat, I can only say, "Zack never asked me to do this for him, when I found out you were coming to Santiago, it was only natural for me to do this for him". (Even if he is a U.K. ex-pat). lol
But in all fairness to ME, since we always seem to have a translation problem between British English and American English, the following quote from my post:
That translates from American English to British English as a "Request".....
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I picked up the papers and have them in the car, now just have to remember to give them to you.
The 40 pesos for the formularia is my treat, I have always been a BIG spender. :chinese: lol

Lambada, It looks like we will need big balls and big clubs for the main event?
I have called CNN. BBC. and arranged for the film crew.............
?Great choice Gringo!
?To keep it neutral, will the film crew be French?
CNN (U.S.) vs BBC (U.K.)
?To keep it neutral, will the film crew be French?
I know you did! The BBC mailed me and said they'd be there if the gentleman using the term 'pit helmet' could be persuaded to correct his English. The term is 'pith' helmet. When I told them who he was, they said yes definitely the term 'pith' was appropriate...................
Hillbilly,
I'm not in Santiago right now, I live in the USA and won't be in the DR until November 12th till early December. I only go to Santiago when I feel like getting lost.
But I do play golf.
Joe
Thank you very much Ginnie

Fox in the hen house
I will say this about the meeting at Campo de Golf, a fox in a hen house would have felt more welcomed. Grahame repeated that "he" could have gotten the papers for Zack, and other then that basically didn't talk to me. I said hello to Hillbilly as he passed by and disappeared to pay the green fees, never to be seen again. Allan(?), whoever he was, did not utter a word. Chip00 was the only one that accually took the time to talk to me.
I hope he doesn't get into too much trouble for that.
Looks like somebody dropped the.. balls!

Just look at the bright side..........Imagine for a moment if you had brought along your side kick with you Tom (XR) Then you would have seen some views exchanged. (Big Time!)
SantiagoDR?????????????????
Don't yet know Chip00. But, I have exactly the opposite opinion of the other three. Couldn't find nicer people.

I did not say anyone was not nice, just that there was no noticible conversation with me when I went to introduce myself to them. Especially the ones from Santiago since that is where I live. (Chip00 being the exception).
Gringo:
Gringo, no one is my sidekick. I went there as me, SantiagoDR, so why do you make hypothetical situations about someone else going there with me? Come back to the real world. I am free to agree or dis-agree with anyone, and I usually do if you follow my posts. My purpose in going to the golf club was to welcome a new ex-pat, Chip00, and to meet also Hillbilly. I did not know BushBaby would be there until BushBaby posted to the thread, and that was after I had inquired to Chip00 about going there to meet him.
So many people here have their own agenda and read things into posts the way they want, be it true or not. When I am on this site I respect that it is Robert's site, and that makes him the boss, whatever he decides is gospel. I don't talk about "other sites" or people on "other sites" when I am here, out of respect to Robert. I would hope you have the same respect.
PS: I put a hidden message in my post about "fox in the hen house". So far no one has found it.
