When the sun goes down the course shows its muscles.

   I always thought of #18 at Lahinch as bland compared to the other quite dramatic holes but on Christmas Eve of 2004 as I finished up , the only person on the property, the angle of the late afternoon sun revealed an awesome fairway of ripples. Yesterday I could truly understand why my home course is called "Rolling Green". Holes like #17 and #18 showed their rolls in the late day sun.

    The topic about "keeping score" was in my mind as I appreciated the other pleasures of a round of golf. Walking our bridge on #14 I suggested to my friend that great courses usually have at least one non golf aspect which sets them apart.

    Golf is played in a natural setting. Maybe that's why I don't like the artificial parts of it.

Low light, or, magic time, does show all the ripples. Not sure I would characterize them as muscles, but, it turns out, my analogies are lame. 

This makes me think of that recent article written about playing at 6;30 a.m. Same is true at that hour as it is at sunset. That author must be a card and pencil guy, and would never understand the difference between the sport and the game.

I played Moray Old last night after it had got its first close cut of the season and suddenly the greens became alive with borrows which previously lay dormant as the grass was kept longer over the winter. Not only was their more borrow but you could see the contours that much better. Fantastic.
