Since our arrival in Ajijic, we always meet new people in everyday contexts around the world. The golf course, above all, we met many golfers in a normal pickup. We do not make reservations here, but we can. As we are always able to get twice the first hole within minutes of arrival, and always have a caddy that is a completely new experience for him. This is a sight to eight people standing on the putting green at a time and each caddy, there are very preciseLine speed and the directions of contact. They take their experience and share very seriously!
A couple of regular customers, we played with several times, and Keith Martin. Keith is a distinguished gray-haired 76 years Col Saunders, with a white beard. A very happy man too friendly with a skirmish puts me to sleep between the lines. It turned out the old Keith was a former test pilot and aeronautical engineer of the team's original design for the F18 fighter, Canada waswar machine premier (and we heard the jet take off and land thousands of life-time at the airfield in Baden Solingen) Keith spent the twilight years of aeronuatics apprenticeship training in Annapolis, America's Premier College, training naval officer .
His friend Martin seems to be still asleep. And no wonder that listening to Keith for four hours to four days a week. Martin wears a straw hat, western, and has little facial skin of leather from a life cycleOpen Sun Always seems a bit 'dazed and plays as if it were all alone on the field.
It turned out that Martin was a pastor. . . style! He had just come out of the company through the sale of 97,000 hectares of pastures first in Wyoming, its area was from 3000 meters to 12,000 meters and along the southern edge was about 30 miles in length. I Just Can not Get my head around these numbers! Thirty miles!
It was not so rosy, underlines how close the size of the property, but. A few years agothe price of wool dropped and when sheared the sheep, gave the barber instead of all the wool in exchange for the scissors to pay, and she refused. The wool was sitting in storage for a year and a half until it is able to liquidate the wool in a draw prices.
Furthermore, three years needed to sell the ranch. In the meantime, he and his wife, a B and B together at their ranch and ran a snowmobile in winter mode. They had to bring all production, delivery andCustomers from the main road six miles by snowmobile! Six miles. Martin, as described this stage of his career, he lit up like a Roman candle exploded with what little money he was cooking systems. Obviously, it was almost down from November 1 to complete until early April. Thirty four customers every night! And they were the only two runs the ranch and offers 2 meals a day and all the fresh bedding.
Martin shone as he explained that it had sold allgas for the snowmobiles. . . .. And he ran a bar open all day! Nudge, Nudge, eye, eye!
Confessed to having sold at the end of B and B for one million and the sale price of 98,000 hectares has not been revealed. But it was enough to buy a luxury condominium with three bedrooms for her children to Manzanillo, on the coast and an estate in Ajijic here big enough to graze for a visit to his former flock of sheep for at least one or two days .
When Ann Diana, his watercolors of the artist's wife asked how they feltthe film Brokeback Mountain, which exploded with joy. He felt the film was made on their ranch, it was as much as their old farm. Swore, they used their trucks and have the same license number. And 'the touching experience of a lifetime to have been in the ranch country of Wyoming, after years of hard work and many ups and downs of seeing their country to come to life so abundant on a giant screen. He had three sons in the land of God and send them all to college. II know this is true. Martin and Diana knows what hard work. When offered the ranch and / or B and B, each of their children. All refused. When Diana said: "They saw how we worked and that not everyone knows that if they do it for academic degrees"
Donald, another golfer also be packed and left the West wide open. Sold its building materials and hardware store in a small town in North Dakota ten years ago and moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, and retired. Livedthere for eight years and how he describes it, he and his wife woke up one morning and spoke about his life and that only a limited number of years left to enjoy. They spoke of their lives in Scottsdale. Everything was so clean and so safe, and all had the same age and had the same conviction of Republican and the same vision of the Christian world. Life was perfect. But he decided he needed more, and packed and moved to Ajijic, right on the main road, where listening to the trafficAll day and night, as a young man listening to the radio in an explosion near unbearable that he would never happier and more alive than life here in Mexico.
Narcissus, Narcissus is an elderly man was my caddy yesterday and dragged the bag monster in the whole course without any sign of fatigue. Offered to clubs and consulting with a cheerful manner. Its implementation was infallible guide. On two occasions early in the game I read with my feet my regret, a put option. On 8 Hole, afrom deep discount in order to stage three green 150 years, as so often in this hole, I offered the possibility of Narcissus registration. He accepted gladly, and offered me Club of Ann, because I am left-handed. He said: "No, I'll try it left-handed", "Do you play left-handed Narcissus," I asked. He laughed and said "never" and promptly sent him to the center of the campaign.
This prompted the question of its Golf. Narciso plays with a handicap of ZERO! He caddies, because it allowshim to play golf at the camp for free. Last year he finished second in three days caddies tournament in Los Angeles and will fly back soon to compete in this year.
Seventeen years old, he left Mexico to make a life for himself in the United States. He worked as a janitor for ten years and then became a caddy at the Beverly Hills Golf Club and spent the rest of his life working as a caddy. He loved to caddy for Joe Pesci, and no one would be for New Year's Caddy Stalone, in this case, no one would play with him! He married, became an American citizen, had 4 children and is looking to turn 62 when they can qualify for a pension of California at $ 700 per month. He is now 57 and v. 70 In all those years ago in the broiling sun have aged Narcissus and, incidentally, the majority of Mexican men who work outdoors, well beyond their years.
Narciso has worked all his life as a caddy. It has to show for it? Well, he loves> Golf, loves his job. E 'happily married and married, while most of his children and life in America, has a couple of ten year old daughter to live here in Ajijic. It is sufficient to show that for the work of a lifetime? Yes, it is natural, but his hard work has brought to experiment in its possession of five magnificent homes here, with three bedrooms, in a city, a real estate boom. Two of the houses are for sale, rental and we can rent them in the next year and lives infifth.
This morning I went to an early round of 18 holes, Ann is committed to his course of water aerobics. I went with Rick, a sporty-looking man who turned to be as gentle as a lamb. I could not guess his age, but lives in Ajijic after living in Los Angeles, most of his life. He plays 18 holes every morning at 7 clock.
We chatted amicably enjoy each others company and sharing of personal histories and interests. After saying that I had a tutor, wasHe reported that he got to where I left off. Rick was president and CEO of Marvel Media Former Marvel Comics, was under his leadership into a giant cinema and a outperformer Dow Jones superstar. He listed many of the films he produced mainly Spiderman Movies Starring Toby Maquia. Here Softspoken this gentle man, who was my caddy as the CEO of a golf media giant, could not, withoutEnvironment.
Here's a guy who was financially in the championship Donald Trump himself was still a quiet lifstyle resulted in a small town in Ajijic. If he's in Los Angeles, you ride 15 miles every day before work. Rick concerns about environmental issues in Ajijic, and in America, the growing gap between rich and poor in America, about the recklessness of Bush's No Child Left Behind farce. I can only imagine that this man is capable of doing with his immenseWealth and enormous experience and passion. This reminds me of the time gap between the old employers are still ongoing, as Donald Trump, Conrad Black, the men behind Enron and entrepreneurs in the New Age as Buffett and Gates are so many billionaires and Silicon Valley, with its significant contribution to injustice around the world.
When you step into the T-shirt to the first hole in Ajijic, you never know who you end the game with ... nor who will be your caddy!
