Postcards: Flaneuring Fun At Redwood Meadows Golf Course

Some might say “Golf is a good walk spoiled,” however I think “golf is a playful walk in a park.” In addition to the exercise (yes I do walk) and the game, there is lots of buffoonery, time for reflection and even some time for photography.

I hope I don’t annoy my golf partners too much when I wander off to take a photo of something in the rough, an insect sunning itself on the green or just the reflection of the sky in a pond.

For me golf is four hours of fun flaneuring - I never know what I will discover.

Here are some postcards from flaneuring my home course Redwood Meadows this summer. I hope you will enjoy them.

Wild Life

Mother feeds two fawns in the fairway of the second hole at Redwood Meadows Golf Course.
This guy swooped down right next to me to help me line up my putt. Can’t remember if I made it or not.

This guy was waiting on my car for a ride home. He showed no fear of me.

Last Word

One of the things I do almost every round it take a few seconds to watch the sunlight reflections in the ponds.

Every time I golf at Redwood Meadows I always take a few seconds to admire the ripples in the ponds and the current in the Bow River. Their is something primordial about looking at water moving.
