Then and Now Series #1: Holes 1-4!

Starting today, I'm doing a new series of posts that I'll finish up through next week.  I'm taking new photos of each hole on the golf course and comparing them to what the golf course looked like in the 1970's-1980's timeframe.  Each day next week, I'll post another 3-4 photos a day until we knock out all 18 holes.  I hope you enjoy!  Also remember, on the blog website, there is a "search this blog" feature (midway down on the right side of the screen) where you can type in keywords and pull up any post in the Blog's 14-year history.  That is 8,000 plus posts, by the way!

Happy 4th Birthday, Hap!

Hap says it's tough work being a golf course dog but his passion never wavers.  The early mornings and dealing with ever-increasing standards for turf quality takes a lot out of a Border Collie.  But, he says, "there's always a ball that needs chased around here and I the man for the job.  I'll retire here." 

Bear Action this morning…

 This morning, these two big bears, a male and female walked around hole #1.
