In 1982 I was transferred from my last sea duty station, the USS Boulder LST-1190 where I enjoyed great success as Petty Officer in charge and Leading Petty Officer of her Radio Gang; Three Green”C’s” in three consecutive years. My Radio Gang was the best in our Task Group of all other ships. It was a successful end to my sea duty before retirement after two years in Puerto Rico, (Shore Duty).
Since My ship was making a port call at Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico anyway, they dropped me and my truck off on the Pier. This was the best transfer I experienced during my Naval career. I waved “bye” to my crew then departed.
Two days later I was on the golf course which lies in the low lands of the Naval Base. The smells were incredible; a powerful tropical fruit smell. Banana, Mango, Papaya, trees to name a few, and all with fruit, were just off the fairways. The papaya’s impressed me most; They were a good one to two feet in length and ten inches wide. And after chilling them are the best, refreshing fruit in the world.
But I digress. The golf course had lush and well kept tee boxes, fairways, and the greens were beautiful with no dead grass anywhere. But it was not perfect golf. It rained almost every day, and the chance of getting rained on while golfing was fair to good.
All in all it was great golf with no worries other than fighting the golf demons which deflect a golfers club where the result is a bad follow through, or the ball doing it’s own thing usually not what I intended.
If you have the time and you are a golfer, try golf in the Caribbean, in Puerto Rico or St Croix. This area is perfect for golfers, as well as divers, hikers, mountain bikers and lovers of great authentic food.
