"Today was a good day..."

...those were Katie's immortal words as we sat on the couch at 9 o'clock last night. We spent the day golfing in the morning and fishing in the afternoon. We were successful at both playing pretty good golf and catching some good sized trout out of the new Murray pond. I've got to quit teaching Katie the "rules of golf" as she insists on assessing me a 2 shot penalty for knocking in a putt without taking the flagstick out of the hole first. Yeah, right!!!

Can you identify this golf hole?

Those of us who frequent the Bountiful Ridge Golf Course in North Salt Lake will have no trouble identifying this hole. It is #17, the infamous "Fred's Tree" hole at Bountiful Ridge.
All seasoned golfers will know to not flirt with putting your drive too close to the tree on the right side of the fairway, and to avoid being left of the tree line on the left side of the fairway. A good drive will put you in position for an uphill approach to the green. Be sure to club-up to get to the green and avoid the bunkers on the right of the green. Par is a good score on this hole.
(Can you tell I'm a little bored today and am grasping for something to do?? Hopefully our golf game won't get rained out this afternoon...but it's sure looking dark and ominous outside.
***Six hours later and an update on the golf game. Tee time was 3:40. At 3:00 it was raining, we arrived at the golf course at 3:30 to no rain but super wet conditions. The weather cooperated...until the 6th hole when it began to rain softly, then steadily, then seriously. We had agreed to play on regardless, so in the downpour we completed the round in style....and were soaking wet because of it! All in all it was a good day...as is any day on the golf course.
