Blue Ridge Mountains Golf Nov.'10

Of course, we couldn’t stay on a golf course and not let Bruce play golf
 
Lake Lure on the one day it was sunny.
Lake Lure is a small resort town on the east face of the Blue Ridge Mountain in southwestern portion of North Carolina. The skies were gray for most of the time we were there, but the first weekend was clear and beautiful ( albeit very cold)..
 
Our condo was tucked into a valley above the lake. It sat high above the Rumbling Bald Golf Course with beautiful views of both the course and the surrounding mountains
Bruce couldn't resist playing a round of golf. Golf is always a lot of exercise, but even with a cart this course involves a lot of walking and much of it was up and down hills. 
The Rumbling Bald course is challenging to say the least. Much of the terrain is steep, and there was a strong wind sweeping across it. 
When Bruce teed off from the top of a slope he held his breath and prayed he could see where the wind had carried it into the leaves below.
 Where did that darn ball go?
All in all Bruce did pretty well, parring several holes and playing well on most of the others.  He still thinks he prefers warm weather golfing
I don’t enjoy golfing so on this round I went as a ride- along photographer.
