May 20th: Silvertip Hole #18

Silvertip Hole #18 -- 464yd Par4 Handicap 7
Silvertip "The Ultimate Expression of Mountain Golf":
The finishing hole is a 464 yard par-4 with extreme altitude drop from tee to fairway and fairway to green. It can easily be mastered by playing your tee shot down the right side. Both the creek running through the fairway and right fairway bunker can only be hit with an enormous drive. The approach is played to an elevated green that is protected by bunkers on the right hand.


(wow)

"Majestic...Glorious...Exciting...Majestic...Unbelievable...Just a few of the adjectives that describe Silvertip, the pinnacle of the extreme mountain golf experience!"

Los Bears:
It is imperative for all visitors in areas inhabited by grizzlies be conscious of the dangers. Reports have indicated that something as innocuous as a tube of lip balm can entice a bear to come near a campsite/trail/anywhere in search of food.

The Sierra Club wants the Forest Service to require everyone who enters a national forest in grizzly country to carry bear spray....These bad boys run slightly under $30 for a can. I know all the required specifications: 225+grams net weight (7.9oz), 1.4 to 1.8% capsaicin, and 10% Oleoresin of Capsicum (OC), don't you all worry.
