It was a a very pleasant day, pace what good
We ran into some early wind.

A challenge to figure out?
No turkey’s were to be found.

No turkey’s
As always I find this course tough.
some greens were found to be fast and other greens to be slow.
This course is filled with natural wonders
Birds, deers ,hawks Turkeys not found on this round?
We found several of the golfers gracious enough to let us pass through since we were only two,.
The wind made its day view the course got longer!
It turn out to be a journey on a lovely day.
