Most of us have been on golf trips before and on occasion return to special places.  We get closer and closer and finally upon arrival we see the sign for "X Club" this way, or even the official sign of the club/course.  Its always a blast taking pics of the entry signs.

But I wanted this thread to be about the non-golf related cues you see on that trip that signal you are starting to get real close to your destination.

So I'll start off by posting this:

This is a good sign I'm in the general area, although it will usually delay my approach ever so slightly...

Matt,

Technically it's not a sign for the course! Maybe a picture of the sand dunes along Highway 1 would have been more appropriate, but this is about excited as I ever get over a freeway exit.  ;D

Eric:

So what is this big bird thing? Public toilet? Dumb & Dumber's (not you FBD!!!) house?

Jeff:

I'll stop now, but I wish I had more to show.

Before we go any farther, out of courtesy, do you think you MIGHT put a caption that tells us what course we're approaching?

Ronald, in case you have not travelled up/down the Electric Brae, we would be heading to Turnberry  ;)

This mid-Ohio course is polarizing...
