Golf, the thinking Man or Woman's Sport

   Without question, golf is one of the most frustrating, yet satisfying sports I've ever played.  And, while I have to admit, I haven't been to the course yet this season, I'm looking forward to playing at least once a week beginning in June.  These are not my photographs, but my love of the game insists that I include them in the absence of photos of me playing.  I usually play the St. Ann Municipal course in my area.  Most of the course is relatively flat, but it is still challenging, and it will make you use virtually every club in your bag.  Later, I hope to add some pictures of me playing (hopefully not digging my way out of the sand trap).

Marmaduke?  (Tied to a pole in the center of the picture.  Left click on the picture to enlarge it).  This picture was taken in St. Louis's Central West End area, near the Medical Complex of Barnes Hospital, and Washington University Medical Center.  A financially and socially upscale area where an eclectic, cross section of society is the norm.

Small flower garden outside a Condominium complex.  Why the Owner chose to plant all the same kind of flowers is a bit puzzling to me.  But I thought this "mini-floral sea" would make a good shot.  All three pictures were taken with a Minolta Maxxum 3XI 35mm film camera.  Using, Fuji 800 ISO film. The lens used was a 35-80mm zoom lens.
