| 16th Green and 17th Tee & Green, Painted Hills Golf Course |
Painted Hills Golf Course is open now. I have been spending the afternoon watching the
members pursuing the sport. As I can see
the course best from my Wii and they are mostly using carts, I believe I have been
getting more exercise than the golfers.
One group, two men and a boy of about seven, rolled up
to the tee area closest to my window in two carts fairly early. Each of them teed-up two balls. The adults’ shots both reach the green; the boy’s
shots barely reached the “ladies” tee area.
Since I am only able to see three holes (the rest being on the other side
of the rise to me) I am wondering if they are going to allow the boy any putting
practice.
Our quote for the day is from Victor Marie Hugo (1802–1885), Notre Dame
de Paris:
He reached another of those ambulatory bundles and examined it. It was a cripple with only one leg and one arm, but so legless and so armless that the complicated system of crutches and wooden legs on which he was supported gave him all the appearance of a scaffolding in motion. Grainier, who dearly loved noble and classical similes, compared him in his own mind to the living tripod of Vulcan.
