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?
