I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: Sierra Putting Green
Very nice. Although I know your comment was tongue in cheek, I wonder how many golfers we have here. ( Not me, too busy with other stuff )

Re: Sierra Putting Green
Sweet pic.....makes me want to flush a seven iron and watch it fly with that backdrop. Was in the business as a pro and then gm for 15 years. Now a school teacher so I now have time to play more golf And that's where the "drive" part of my name comes from. The fly is the pilot part of me. Together they describe my greatest passion.......fishing

Re: Sierra Putting Green
Beautiful! Humphreys Basin is such a spectacular setting and there are so many mini-landscapes surrounded by glory

I've played a lot of golf but that isn't the reason I like this pic. It's something different here and is really cool (does this word show my age?).

Re: Sierra Putting Green
"golf" "club" both 4 letter words... "Guinness" book for loftiest hole in golf!? 3 clubs divided and shared ought to do it. The hard part w/b to get a PGA type to come to certify it.

Re: Sierra Putting Green
Thanks Tom. My wife plays a little, its all television when it comes to golf for me.
Thanks Ladd. Will make the assumption that as a pro you played a lot of courses
around the US and possibly beyond, which had the most lasting impression scenery
wise?
Thanks Brian. Your absolutely correct that there are a lot of hidden mini-landscapes
one can find in Humphreys Basin which is what makes it so intriguing.
Thanks Cross Country. Cool is one of the words that crossed my mind when first
laying my eyes on this to!
Thanks Rlown.
Eric, we will have HST printed on all the flags at each hole!
Austex, you can supply the Guinness since you brought it up.

Re: Sierra Putting Green
Maverick;
I really like this picture, with the green grass almost looking mowed, and the golden grasses of fall glowing, with Glacier Divide as a backdrop - very nice. On my previous trips to HB, there were visions of golf in my head, so thanks for the reminder. Tee it up and let it rip!
Funny that I replied to this post once before, but I guess the reply didn't take. User error for sure.
