A Hole-In-One . . . Almost

Ken and I just returned from a Labor Day golf weekend with friends including Jimmy & Patty Barrier, Guy & Colleen Brown, Susan & Gary Neumann and Jim & C.K. Coles. We stayed at one of the incredible cabins and had the opportunity to play a couple of rounds at the spectacular golf course at the Club at Black Rock overlooking Lake Coeur d’Alene. I think this is the most beautiful golf course I have ever played. (Of course, I am merely a neophyte in playing different courses so far.) The golf course is built on the side of a steep hill so many of the greens are either at the bottom of bowls or up above the tee, which makes putting quite a challenge. Our caddy, Dave, was invaluable in reading the greens and suggesting where to aim our putts so there would be a chance that we would at least come close to the hole. If you get the opportunity to play the Club at Black Rock, you should definitely request Dave!

Most exciting, was my “almost” hole-in-one on a short par three on a gorgeous hole that had seven waterfalls. The ball was hit dead on the pin and landed only a few inches from the hole. See the photo proof with Dave, our fantastic caddy, above.
