Don’t Miss the Big 4th Of July Celebration At The Amazon Golf Course

This is your invitation to join us for a fun day and good food at the Amazon Golf Course on the 4th of July. Independence Day in the United States of America is just a good excuse to have a great party in Iquitos Peru. All nationalities are welcome to enjoy a day spent playing, eating, drinking, dancing and sports.

We will have the charcoal grill fired up cooking hot dogs, deeply flavored Peruvian chorizos and delicious spicy Brazilian calabresa sausages, with North American potato salad, and baked beans like grandma used to make, all washed down with plenty of cold beer (only S/ 5 soles now), Inka Cola, Coke, or bottled water with and without gas.

Show up any time from 10:00am till late afternoon. Food will start coming off the grill around noon. Spend a fun day with us. Bring your family and friends. We are really looking forward to being with you at the Amazon Golf Course.

Plan to play golf, hit golf balls out of sight at the driving range, have fun putting on the practice green, lots of competitive volleyball, and soccer, or hanging out in the hammocks or chairs in the shade relaxing, visiting, partying, listening to music and drinking beer. Last time we danced till dark.

All profits will go into our fund to purchase a riding lawn mower for the Amazon Golf Course. Thank you so much in advance for helping with that important project. Everyone will win.

Second Golf Lesson At the Amazon Golf Course

Michael and Isacc are the star students golfers at the Amazon Golf Course

We hosted 9 golf students at our second Saturday free golf lessons at the Amazon Golf Course from 10 till 12 noon. Join us for your free golf lessons next Saturday. Harry Kelly was the golf professor, assisted by Mike Collis and Margarita our course supervisor. I was impressed by the rate of improvement I witnessed today.

The golf students practiced at the driving range and the putting green

We learned a lot about golf today. Everyone was better at the end of practice than when we started.

Our second Saturday of golf lessons at the Amazon Golf Course

The first half hour for the newest students was a classroom discussion about golf terminology, clubs, rules, and philosophy. Then they joined the others at the driving range. Harry taught them the proper way to hold the club and the stance, keep your eye on the ball on the tee, and follow though. There was visible improvment in the next half hour. Then we moved to the practice putting green. Well, putting is difficult. We need more practice, naturally.

We are gratified that so many young women came to the golf lessons at the Amazon Golf Course

We had fun today. I expect more golf students at next Saturday’s lessons at the Amazon Golf Course. Join us. Bring your friends.

Next Saturday we will spend more time on the driving range and practice putting green with the advanced students teeing off to the first green. Today Michael and Isacc, our star students, played the first hole several times after the lessons were over. They impressed me with their enthusiasm for learning the sport of golf. I know they will be good golfers if they keep practicing.

We are learning the sport of golf at the Amazon Golf Course

We are building awareness in the Iquitos community about playing golf at the Amazon Golf Course.

And who knows, you might even find romance on the practice putting green at the Amazon Golf Course
