Ames Golf & Country Club - Tim joined us and it was a great course for me as this was a very flat course.   Last course I completed prior to my hip replacement.    We took a long break after that.  :(


In August I was finally released to golf again and boy was I ready to get going.

Twin Anchors Golf Course in Colo was our first stop.   SO close to a hole in one at this course but just wasn't quite there.    Darn!!   Still determined to get one though.     The clubhouse was NOT the place for lunch at the turn.   I was told there was a great place at the course to eat, unfortunately it was next to the campgrounds and we went to the clubhouse.    Only had a toaster oven so only one pizza could be made at a time and couldn't use anything else while it was on or they would blow a breaker.    We shared a frozen pizza and finished another 9 and got the heck out of dodge.       



Hi-Point Golf - Jim and I golfed here in August but I didn't have my photographer Shirley with me to take any pictures.       Shirley and I will go another time so she can check it off her list too.  This is a 3rd generation family that owns this course and it is very well maintained and the family couldn't be any more friendly.    We will go back and get pictures.







 Hill Golf Course in Grand Junction - This was a nice course and as you can tell, we were finding all kinds of pictures to take here.




Aggressive Ducks


The ducks actually came right for us and we hadn't seen so many different ones on one course before.



















There is a story with this picture and believe me the pictures do it no justice and I cannot put into words how funny it was and how hard we laughed.   I think we may have wished we had depends on that day.


Shirley hit her drive and it not only hit one of the flower beds but hit ricocheted from one to the other and bounced in the middle.
I'm standing on the T box taking these pictures and now she is pointing where it landed.    



American Legion Golf Course in Marshalltown - After some bad publicity we decided we should give this course some business, so we did.   


 This was a great little grill hut and we stopped for a bite at the turn.


Of course one of us had to land under a tree, just didn't expect this to be there.  HA



Not too much to share for 2015 but there you have it.    

Jim does a great job of keeping our clubs nice and clean!
