Winter at Leslie Park Golf Course
Something a little different for this post.
My wife and I walk local golf courses in the off season for exercise and as a change of pace. We tend to go to courses when there is minimal snow (1-3 inches) on the ground. Walking through deeper snow is a real chose. Following a cross country sier's trail makes it a little easier.
Some enterprising individuals have made a skating rink on the par-3 17th hole's pond.
Some major tree trimming have been recently performed. That was one large cottonwood tree they removed. I am not sure why it was removed. I do not recall a dead tree on the 10th hole but that is the most likely explanation.
The beaver dam between the 10th tee and 12th green has created its own "skating pond."
I am no naturalist but I think this groove in the snow was caused by a vole moving around in the grass under the snow.
I'll close this little photo essay with a short discussion of my latest peeve. Local residents like to use the closed course as their own personal dog park. I have never had any issues with the dogs as some are leashed and the others tend to be very well trained and/or friendly. I have noticed an issue with the 2-legged owners. Some bag their pet's poop, which is a good thing. that is until they leave the #$@!&! bag laying on the course. By the end of the winter, the course is covered with these ripening presents. I am not sure what I may do if I see a dog owner drop the poop bag and walk away. Watch the news headlines about a crazy old guy going postal on some poor dog owner.😉
