Tuesday 3/1/10






Happy March to everyone! One consultant, Richard McE, is leaving for home in the US today. He's my neighbor in the office.

For many Aramcons and consultants here, golf is a prime down time activity. The 18 hole golf course is well kept with nice fairways and greens (see the photos), but when I was here before in the early '90's it was much different. In those days the fairways were a fine gravel and the greens were astro turf. The sand traps were natural sand (in fact the rough was really rough). You would carry around a 2 ft square pad of astro turf to put you ball on when you were approaching the green back on the fairway. You can still see the old fairways on the out skirts of the new fairways.
