Costa Rica Golf Overview
Costa Rica is easy to describe in physical terms: 19,600 square miles, with a population of a bit over three million people and mountains ranging up to 12,500 feet. Thee basic language is Spanish; however the population is approximately 80% white, with 20% consisting of a mixture of Europeans and native Indians.
A most unusual aspect of Costa Rica is their stable economy and political climate. Located in a part of the world tortured by upheaval and almost constant war, it has been described as a happy oddity in Central America - a stable democracy that has disbanded its army to preserve the peace.
San José, the capital city and located at approximately 3,800 feet, has a population of a bit over one million. Within Costa Rica are several golf resorts which are listed below.
Golf may be enjoyed on the Cariari Country Club's 18-hole championship course. Designed by George Fazio and
his nephew, it came into play in 1970. Measuring 6,590/6,078/5,366 yards, it pars at 71/72. With undulating terrain,
some multi-tiered greens, narrow tree-lined fairways and water becoming a factor on eight holes, it will offer all you
can handle. 
Cock your wrist up (not back), swing your arms back, turn your shoulders and rotate your forearms
Rotate around your axis and maintain the same posture throughout your swing in order to pivot properly

Pick an intermediate target to aim for that is between your ball and the target
Hit closer to the ball using a normal backswing and accelerate the club on the way through
In a one plane motion the arms, shoulders and hips all turn around in a circle as opposed to a slide and hip bump in the two plane swing.
