Tuesday is ladies golf day and the league I belong to arranges tee times for members for the morning. Today’s round, while was not spectacular, was particularly enjoyable. I was part of a wonderful foursome — pleasant people — all having fun regardless of the golf shots — courteous golfers — and all appreciative to be out on a relaxing round of golf on such a spectacular day. The “oh I wish I had my camera” moment ( and mine is almost always with me but wasn’t today ) came on the 15th hole. A turtle was crossing the fairway right in the line of play for our second shots. So, one of our foursome drove up, parked her cart, and gently herded the turtle toward the pond area she was pointed towards. The turtle obligingly walked along quite briskly (for a turtle) as she was gently talked to and encouraged. Note — I’m assuming the turtle was a she — who knows why. Safely getting her to the rough near the pond — we all proceeded up the fairway. A good day was had by all. But, I really need to remember that camera. A priceless photo op was missed today — along with a few short putts!
