Punta Espada

Another beautiful day here in "The D.R"!  This time at Cap Cana resort and Punta Espada golf club.

It starts with the stunning view from the rear of the first tee, and keeps getting better.

This is the view from the black tees on the second hole.

And from the path leading down from that back tee.

Beautiful outlooks into the magical clear waters of the Caribbean Sea, are a real feature of this course.

Jack Nicklaus had a great canvas to create his masterpiece, and did a magnificent job.

The holes along the coast are brilliant, but the holes inland and equally as good, if not as visually spectacular.

Sandy waste areas dominate the off fairway areas, and really compliment the design.

The Par three's on the back nine are super difficult, with long carries required over the Caribbean Sea.

As you can probably tell, all players were busy snapping photos today, the golf was secondary.

Hole after hole tests your skill, as the wind blows in off the sea.

This was seen by all as one of the best courses of the tour.  Don't be surprised to see it climb the world rankings, and even maybe overtake it's more famous counterpart back at Casa de Campo.

The waves crash in as you make your way down the last hole.  A very fitting way cap off the experience.
It was Elizabeth Knight's birthday today, and what better way to celebrate than to win.  That is exactly what Elizabeth did.  A fine 36 points on a challenging course. Well done.
The men's winner was Tony McLean, good work T Mac.

The last remaining course on the tour is Pete Dye's Teeth of the Dog, at Casa de Campo.
