1465.0. "Golf in Rio?" by OAXCEL::SOMERS () Mon Mar 02 1992 15:35

    Do any of you know of any courses in the Rio de Janeiro area?  I'll be
    there for business in April, and will have a couple of weekends to
    kill.  Got a travel book on Rio and it mentions nothing about golf
    courses.
    
    Thanks.

    Gary,
    
    No matter how much you like golf, how can you even think of wasting
    time at a course.  You have got to hit the beach, learn the limbata, go
    up to the top of San Cristo, hit the beach.....enough said.

1465.3It's Been a LOOOONG Winter!!OAXCEL::SOMERSWed Mar 04 1992 12:0710
    SCD,
    
    I consider spending hours at the beach with thousands of other people
    in the hot sun a waste of time.  I'd rather spend the hours with
    thousands of other people in the hot sun playing golf ;-)
    
    Guess I'm just another New Englander frustrated by the cold and ice who
    can't wait to start playing again.

    Gary,
    
    Must be a long winter.  Suggest you get a copy of the latest Sports
    Illustrated and use it as inspiration for your trip.  A kidding aside,
    I guess if I had the chance to play golf in SA, I would make the
    effort.  Or at least take my sand wedge and some golf balls to the
    beach.

1465.5Who needs golf!!!MSDOA::BEAZLEYWed Mar 04 1992 16:2811
    If you took your clubs, you would probably never use them, trust me on
    this one.
    
    Miles and miles of the most BEAUTIFUL women in the world on the beaches
    of Rio.
    
    But you might just stopover on your return in Miami for a few holes.
    
    After having gone there, I truly envy you.

1465.6Drink a batida a day.FLYWAY::BELLFri Mar 13 1992 08:3912
    There's a golf course about 20 minutes taxi trip south of RIO. I can't
    remember the name, but I had a look at it a few years ago, and it
    looked to be in good condition, and interesting. I've no idea about
    how much the green fees are, but I remember I could have played if I
    wanted, so perhaps you'll be lucky. There's a restaurant on IPANEMA
    called BARRIL 1860 which is worth a visit for a good
    Churascaria(spelling?).
    
    hope this helps
