6/11/08 GOLF, PROSE AND CONS


Wednesday, 7:30 AM. 37 degrees, wind NE, light to moderate. The barometer predicts sunny skies, which are presently overcast. It was very foggy earlier, but it has lifted. We are stuck in a cool, damp weather pattern, rather like an English or far northern European spring. Or, perhaps, Siberia? Anyway, it’s better than floods, tornadoes and heat waves. The plants and animals take it all in stride, and so should we.
The Bayfield Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Bureau “After Hours” event on Madeline Island was very nice and well attended. The Madeline Island Golf Course was designed by famous golf course architect Robert Trent Jones. I don’t golf but have a long association with golf course maintenance, and this one is a beauty. The last time I golfed I ended up caddying the last several holes for the foursome. I'll let your imagination run wild as to why.
