Golf at San Antonio Resort

On Friday I returned to San Antonio to play some more golf, this time at a resort, the Hyatt Hill Country

Now I must admit I was not in the best of golf shape after a late night of celebration and also not in the best of moods for some other reasons by the time I arrived at the golf course.  So I did not pay as much attention as I should have to everything about the course.  While the parking lot was full of pickups and horse trailers, there were very few folks on the golf course; apparently big convention of the Texas Wildlife Association at the resort and their parking overflowed. 

The folks at the pro shop were GREAT!  Gave me a bag tag with my name inscribed for free and encouraged me to have a great time on the course.  I was again going to be playing by myself as no one else wanted to brave the middle of the day heat again :)  Oh well so much for meeting folks on the golf course I guess LOL.  The starter gave me the lowdown on the course and sent me on my way.

The course was a little brown from drought (as compared to Cedar Creek the day before) but in good shape.  I played pretty quickly in the heat (finished with a round of 80).  I did catch up with a single male golfer on the back nine and then a single male golfer caught up with me as we were all stuck behind a very slow foursome.  I graciously asked the gentlemen who caught me if he wanted to play together for the last few holes so we both would not have to wait and he said yes. I  tried to approach the gentlemen who I had caught but he clearly wanted no part of playing with a female as he completely refused to look my way and just hurriedly teed off and drove off.  Oh well his loss  (although he was pretty cute) LOL

My new playing partner was very surpised that a single female would be out playing by herself.  He kept asking me about why I was playing and seemed not to accept that it was just for fun.  He also was trying to impress me by telling me how he had done on previous holes including a wild story about on one of the par 5s hitting 4 iron, pitching wedge, pitching wedge to the green??  Sounded kind of fishy but whatever.  I finished the round pretty exhausted and very sweaty and hoping to avoid sitting in traffic on way to my hotel by stopping at the 19th hole grill.  Unfortunately, the grill was closed for a private event for the conventioneers so I was directed to another little spot to grab a bite to eat.  Well it ended up being the bar!  I walk in to a full bar of people dressed pretty nice and I have only changed shirts and am in my skort.  I was soo tired too, but had a quick bite and lots of water then headed to hotel.  I was in no mood to chit chat with anyone.  Came to realize by next morning that I was pretty dehydrated and too tired to play another round as I had planned so headed back home next morning.
