Beauty and the Beast

Today we played at one of the most beautiful golf courses in the entire area. It is named The Pearl. Our tee time was 7:00 AM, which provided the unique beauty of playing while the dew was still fresh and the sun was low in the morning mist.


















The Pearl is also a difficult course that punishes a golfer who is not on his game. (That would be me). I really enjoyed the beauty of the course, but hated the torture of tight fairways and water everywhere (some of which cannot be seen from the tee).

Notice the high finish and perfect footwork. Terri hits them straight on tough courses.

Terri was looking for one of my errant shots when she stumbled across the critter below. They don't move out of your way like snakes or other animals do. I played like the crocodile hunter and snuck up to within 15 feet to snap this camera phone picture.
