The "game" is silly but hitting the ball is fun. I actually had a

think we were all just "done". We were all just dropping another ball
and hitting it. Nobody was really keeping score.
It may have been my fault. I took them about 150-200 golf balls I got
for free. The serious golfer in our group went through and plucked out
all of the "Pro V" and a couple Callaways and Nikes he said were good.
We were whacking the rest. I am sure the ball hawks were in hawk
heaven following us around. I bet we left 20 in the tall grass and a
few more in the water.


I played a round at Hilton Head last summer. Maybe that is overstating
it. I bashed a bunch of golf balls around a course and managed to see a
couple of gators in a couple of water hazards which, of course, made
them real water hazards.

One of the things I like about the courses we play here are that they
are wildlife refuges. We were at Manatee in Bradenton and it is a
mecca for wading birds
I got this Tricolor Heron pic the other day that came out nice

These guys are pretty cool too. I know you have the big blue herons up
there but I doubt you see many spoonbills.
