This is my second shot on the first hole. Not a great picture...a bit blurry. One thing you will notice about this golf course, though....there tends to be alot of water involved:

The green at the third hole:

View looking back towards the third hole from the fourth tee:

Very nice course-side house. Check out the small little chimney on the right side:

Nice little BBQ action

but I'm surprised it isn't set up to be a smoke house. I want to do that at some point..and have it look much like this:

This picture is the taken from the fifth tee and you can see the green on the left side. On this hole Babe Ruth made a wager that he could hit the green from that tee and apparently lost 11 balls in the water trying during an amateur tournament (he came second so they obviously didn't count the strokes):

Here is a dedication to the incident in the club house:

Another shot from 5th tee:

and another:

Little par 3:

For those of you who golf: from the white blocks it is almost 200 yards before your ball is "feet dry" on this hole:

Ladies tee. When I play with friends a ball in the water means you did NOT hit past the ladies tee, no matter where the ball enters the water. Generally we play the dick-out rule and so the unfortunate must play from here...with his wang out.

Looking back from where I hit my second. Honestly.

That's it.

Great Pics Curv!

When we come to visit, I'll bring my clubs

Man, that's a beautiful course. Thanks for sharing. I've only managed to get out 3 times this spring, but now.... after seing these... I'm going out this week - no mater what.

Wow... that's what green looks like.

Very nice indeed!

Very nice golf course and pics, Curval. Not so sure about that dick-out rule though, must be a tropical thing...

We play the same here in Texas.

Oh yeah, I hate you Curval!;) You make my local course look like a landfill.

I should post pics of the Trona golf course down the road. I **** you not, it's in the desert... sand rocks creosote and tumbleweed. The greens are actually grass though.

LOL! It's just one gigantic hazard with greens popping out every once in a while. I bet you've got a mean bunker shot after playing that a few times, though.

Sandman · « **Reply #12 on:** June 18, 2006, 11:52:34 PM »

LOL... you googled it.

I played on it one time, probably a decade ago. Normally, I'll just play on base. It's pretty much the only golf course in town.

Oh... and that sand isn't the fluffy bunker type stuff. It's packed firm. More like soft concrete.

I shouldn't joke.

Here's golf, Great White North-style:

In that case, you are all a little weird, no surprise though...
