Fiji Golf



Golf in Fiji is similar to home - and different. Here there are mongooses running across the fairways instead of squirrels. Water hazards are fed by a salt water river in which we saw coral and puffer fish. And the measurements are in meters instead of yards - which fortunately was pointed out to us before we began! Otherwise its like home where the course "eats" golf balls, trees still block the perfect shot (albeit palm trees instead of pine), and the dubious gravitaional pull of sand traps suck your balls in. Man, I love the game!
