VUE

BY RACHEL MONTEL "If only I hit it straight that would have been perfect." Every golfer has said this at some point in their golfing career. But it's impoortant to remem- ber, while attempting to attain the per- fect swing, your visual surroundings are crucial. And as with anything in life, a change of scenery–particularly one that's quite different from home– is a great way to get things moving along. The rural setting of the cours- es in the tri-state area provide some escape for golfers, but the crashing waves of the Caribbean can some- times offer a different perspective. The comforting tropical views along the Puntacana Resort and Club will without-a-doubt serve as an ideal source of inspiration. Golf Magazine previously named La Cana Golf Club at Puntacana Resort and Club the number one course in the Caribbean. Certainly, few things are better than a golf course set between rocky cliffs, coral reefs, and the Caribbean Sea. And if an excuse for taking this golf-in- spired trip is necessary, remember the famous quote by esteemed author P.G. Wodehouse, "If only I had taken up golf earlier and devoted my whole time to it instead of fooling about writ- ing stories and things, I might have got my handicap down to under eighteen."
