The Dunes: big fairways paired with greens that are fiercely guarded, often elevated

A traditional treat and real Country Club here in the south "The Dunes". It has its members only areas and separate guest facilities, tennis courts, a pool and beach access and a driving range with new Callaway balls.

Today's round was special: all girls. Sandy and Jane were just as excited to get the opportunity to play this beautiful course. There are signs that say beware of alligators and I was hoping to get a picture of one. A good day again, I saw an interesting looking duck, my alligator and even a raccoons on may way to an average score. Started of well, but is was very muggy out today (heat index 110) and by the end of the round none of us three had the energy really to pull it together. Result: 44 and 52 (incl. 32 putts... yes today, some of them actually went in).

haha ... I was in the bunker on the right side, caught it thin
and thus overshot into another one in the back of the green
