Golf at 8500 feet above sea level.

Today was our day to play golf...  at 8500 feet above sea level.  Ack!!!


We found Shining Mountain Golf Club in Woodland Park.... a little north and west of here.  It is a beautiful public mountain course.


As you might imagine, it was pretty darned hilly.  Thank goodness for gas-powered golf carts!  But even with that my handy, dandy watch tells me that I've walked just over 4 1/2 miles today.  When you play like I do, it is a LOT of exercise!  :)  Given the altitude both here in Manitou Springs and up on the course, you can be sure that I won't be running any races.

One of the best parts of playing a mountain course?  Why the views, of course!  This is the back side of Pike's Peak.  Pretty amazing, eh?
