(Simile of the Day: Not hitting this fairway is like not hitting it past the ladies' tees ... Hopefully the same rules don't apply or we could have a group of gentleman playing the final 8 in their skimpys.)

Stewart Creek:
Though the greens are typically manufactured, Browning still manages to sneak in some interesting natural ones, like the 10th, with its on-grade approach, or the 14th, with its devilish contours. (Translated: Oh after you waste 14 strokes hitting balls into the woods, have fun 4-putting a couple times ... It really should be a wonderful test of discipline -- who will be the first to crack and toss a club into the woods?)



Oh the wildlife, ya dohnt say thehr?
The most common mammals you'll see in and around the courses are the red squirrel, Columbian ground squirrel, least chipmunk, and golden-mantled ground squirrel. A leisurely drive though the area at dawn or dusk is a good time to spot some of the larger animals such as moose, deer, or elk. Bighorn sheep can often be seen on a summer's day licking salt on and alongside the highway (or on this teebox). Please watch your speed (after 6 beers in the golf cart...Adam)! The more wary mountain goats can be seen high on the mountain slopes with the help of binoculars. (Those will be on a later post listing all necessary items to bring ... you guys aren't quite ready for that .... soon young grasshoppers.)

  1. Love the addition of the simile of the day. Never seen a squirrel, so I can't wait for that wildlife sighting! And I nominate Halbert for the first to chuck the putter in a glacial lake...

  2. Well, I did drunkenly smash my Comcast remote on the floor the other day when the Blackhawks lost, so Rosch might be on to something there.

    Fun fact: If you want to smash something, a Comcast remote is quite satisfying and easily replaced no questions asked at your local Comcast office
