The score card... should have left it blank!

Dave and Rolfe at The Colonial in Hart. Another beautiful afternoon!

You can't see it too well from this picture, but this is a photo of a bald eagle! It's the second time we have seen an eagle up here (also last year on the way to Hemlock). It's sad that we see more real eagles than eagle putts.

Rob hits an approach shot from the fairway...

...and then another from the deep rough!

This is the par 3 which no one hit. Wait, that was most of them.

Another view of the par 3, from where Rolfe's ball stopped.

One of my favorite holes at Colonial.

>
Rolfe was playing so poorly, he figured playing barefoot couldn't hurt his game.

>
Look at that form!

>
This one makes it onto the green!

The rest room/welcome sign at The Colonial.

Rolfe climbs up for a better look.

For Eric, this was a long par 5. For everyone else, not so much.

>
Another beautiful fairway. This one reminds me of a hole at Oceana, too.

The approach to the Colonial's clubhouse, home of the biggest hot dogs on the planet. Also home to the waitress who is the stingiest when it comes to chips! Oh yeah, and you can buy beer in the pro shop, and alcohol in the bar, but no beer in the bar, and no alcohol in the pro shop! Go figure.

After playing at Colonial, we decided that rather than play more golf, we would go back to the cottage to hang out, have some food, and go fishing off the dock. We probably could have snuck out again for nine more holes, but the lure (pun intended) of fishing was just too great. And we still hadn't gotten our fill of euchre.

More highlights:

• The team is awakened by a 2:00am phone call.
• Eric forgets the camera again at Hemlock, of all places.
• The shower actually works this year!
• Rob is accused of dealing from the bottom of the deck.
• Dave feeds us steaks which have marinated for a week.
• Rolfe catches a whopper!
• Rolfe nearly loses his wedding ring.
• We all eat the world's largest hot dogs at Colonial.
• We spy a bald eagle on the course.
• The wheels fall off Rolfe's game.
