Perfect Golfing Weather

Theresa and I love to golf in the early fall as the weather is usually perfect. With the temperature around the twenty mark and perfect blue sky with not a breeze what more could you ask? Our golfing is strictly for exercise and fun so the score is kept only for the habit from the past.

Few people were on the course at Century Pines so named for the grand old pines left from the lumbering era. They escaped because in those days the logs had to be perfect and these survivors are not. They are weather beaten and have a few crooks along the way but majestic as they reach for the sky. Some day this beautiful golf course on the moraine will probably fall to the earth movers as progress will require the land for buildings. What a shame.

Along the way today there were birds a plenty but one in particular took its position seriously and would not be moved in spite of the activity around it. Theresa took a few pictures and the bird seemed to pose for her but never left its perch.

Our game took second place to our enjoyment of the flora and fauna surrounding us on all sides. This course is owned by a man who has landscaping as his means of earning a living and all his courses earn praise for the care he demands for the upkeep of his property.
