是不是刚铲完雪，开着壁炉喝着红茶跟太太聊天呢？我今天在奥兰多的ChampionsGate高尔夫球场打了两场球
Champions Gate Golf Club, a Greg Norman design that has two 18-hole layouts, the National and International courses.
The National is a classic American parkland course that winds through 200 acres of secluded woodlands, wetlands, and former orange groves.
The International follows a classical pattern of two out-and-back loops of nine holes, has the look and feel of a links-style layout in the British Isles – except for the addition of water hazards. The International was designed, constructed and seeded to offer a hard, fast playing surface similar to those found on true links courses.
这个球场是Greg Norman设计的，因为International太难，Rated 76.8 Slope 143！上午11:10开球，谷歌地图显示21分钟到达，提前1小时出发。显然Garmin GPS 2013.30地图仍然赶不上地产开发商的速度，到Champions Gate后，一条路变成了住宅小区的大门，耽误10分钟后终于找到球场。球场时间是在GolfNow.com上订的，44美元（正常价$100），Powercart + 12"显示屏GPS，还给一筐练习球，时间不够只打了半框就上场了。
今天气温16度，但风很大，所以感觉还是有点冷。
看来Greg Norman太喜欢沙坑了，球场上到处都是沙坑，尤其距离短一点的洞，比如不到300码的4杆洞，果岭周围密密麻麻布满了沙坑。有一个3杆洞，开球台到果岭的连线上，靠近果岭的地方长着两棵大树，环绕果岭是一整圈沙坑。
National球场人不多，2:20就打完了，46+47=93杆。奥兰多这周的日出时间是7:05AM，日落时间是5:30PM，照第一场的速度，肯定可以再打一场。到Proshop一问，replay价格是39美元。交了钱，接着打International球场，难度大概是针对黑梯的，白梯感觉还好，还是沙坑多，有些很小很深的沙坑不好打，很有点苏格兰球场的风格。
International球场的第1洞开球台后面，是著名的Leadbetter golf Academy，好像国内翻译成利百特高尔夫学院。当时看到几个十四五岁的中国孩子在练习，一位三十来岁的女士我还以为是教练，跟我讲普通话，好像是家长或陪同。同组的人叫我开球，没有多聊。记得去年在迈阿密Doral球场，练习场对着的是Jim McLean Golf School，也是著名教练。
天气越来越冷，International比较忙，前面压着两组。跟我同组的一位居然也来自加拿大，Newfoundland人。
打完第18洞，47+45=92杆。太阳刚好落下去，看看手表，5:35pm。
明天要打Orange Lake Resort - Lendends和排名第一的Shingle Creeek。
