And my response was, “sorry I can’t go, my battery isn’t fully charged and I’m waiting for the latest patches to download to my high resolution gps screen!”

The crack of a well struck drive snapped me out of my deep contaplation. Once the foursome left to play their second shots I jumped up to the first tee box and looked for and found an aiming point for tomorrow, which, of course, was on the right side of the fairway. I thought about that spot all night.

At the 5th tee box you have to hit your tee shot past the “Hanging Tree”, a local historic mark, and yes, it’s a bit bleak, but it holds significant importance for the local community.
