I really like this new place we are staying. My humans took me for a long walk. I got to roll in the dirt. But then, my maternal human patted all the
dirt off of me. Why did she do
that? I was feeling pretty good till
then.
This morning, we loaded up the golf clubs and headed to the
Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis Club. It is situated in the valley near the
airport, north of the elk refuge. The
Tetons tower over the course making for a scenic wonderland.
It is expensive to play here. Just like Jackson - if it should cost $90,
they will charge you double. My thoughts
are that it is a one time experience and just enjoy it. I am not sure Spouse ever got over the
sticker shock... He quit taking his score on the third hole! The course is in immaculate condition. The fairways are perfect, the first cut of
rough is a bit challenging, and the second cut of rough can put you in the
emergency room when you try to swing through it. Surprisingly, being this close to the
mountains, it is not very hilly at all.
But there are water hazards and chaparral hazards that make the course
interesting. And there are bunkers. Spouse struggled all day. I was ok for the most part, but my evil twin
made a few appearances, and when she was there, she was REALLY evil. The weather was perfect, maybe around 80 with
white puffy clouds. The fall colors are
starting to splash in. Pops of yellow on
the aspens, and the undergrowths are starting to show the reds. It made for a very pleasant day for me. I still don't think Spouse is over the
sticker shock. To put it in perspective,
we played golf in Banff which really sets the bar for beauty. We played there at twilight, and it cost a
bit less then here. This wasn't quite in
the Banff class, but every bit as expensive.
And alas... another round without
a hole in one...
Afterwards, we had our '19th hole' at a tavern in town. We struck up all sorts of conversations with
people from all over. yakity yak yak
yak! And the best is yet to come... Thai
food! YUMMY! As we were getting in 'Jack' ready to leave,
the streets came to life with a staged shootout. The Jackson Hole Playhouse had their cowboys
and saloon girls doing their thing.
We finally made it back to Hannah with our own hungry beast
awaiting his meal. He missed his humans!
