We met for dinner in Ludwig, the fine dining room, for foie gras with apples, sea bass carpaccio, freshly baked whole grain bread studded with hazelnuts, Colorado Antelope in a crispy crust, etc with a decadent chocolate dessert and an artists palate with four different sorbets. The wine selection was superb as was the after dinner cognac with coffee.

How delighted he was at not having to suffer through what he had heard about the low-calorie, minimal spa foods.

The next day’s golf outing finished earlier than expected, so I suggested that he try a facial explaining that HIS esthetician said "they are incredible for eradicating the ravages of the elements on the skin and being outside for golf so frequently he certainly could use that treatment."

We scheduled the treatment. Afterwards with his face glowing from the exfoliation, moisturizing with special botanicals and vitamin C, and his hands baby soft from the electric glove treatment with lots of oils, he looked and felt like a million. But the smile on his face from the total relaxation from the neck, scalp and arm massage was one of those outward signs of inward contentment.

We popped into the outdoor Jacuzzi and had a cold drink. Then

we pulled on our jeans and headed to the Bully Ranch, the casual restaurant. The waiterbrought us several local drafts on tap. Ordering up ½ pound lightly seasoned and grilled burgers, they were delivered on a bun made in the resort’s bakery, topped with sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese and bacon and sided with giant, crispy fries. For dessert he ordered a snickers chocolate maniacally caloric thing that the waiter suggested he bring with ice cream as he felt the whipped cream was just too wimpy.

I would not be surprised if our next golf vacation happens to be at a resort with a spa. Men know that spas are for manly men.
