Bagio is between 4000 and 5000 feet up. A thrown club might not hit the ground for 2 or 3000 feet. Probably wouldn't be worth picking up after that. On one 'elevated tee' the mountain fell steeply to the right. Slicer's Heaven. I asked the caddy what happens if I slice one. He says, "Black hole of Calcutta, ball Gone!"
The town had a bar about every eleven feet. Their San Miguel beer was very good considering the QA didn't exist. One time you could drink a case and not get a buzz. Another, 3 beers and you'd be blotto. I mean GONE!!
They also had a booze called San Miguel Gin. We emptied a bottle and a local showed us a little something about it. He turned the bottle upside down and shook it to make sure it was completely empty. Then he held his thumb over the opening and shook it violently. Lit his lighter, held it near the top, released his thumb and a blue flame shot about 2 feet out of the bottle. He did that over and over with that "EMPTY" bottle 17 times.
I could hear my liver crystallizing.
