The pictures of Wild Horse were taken July 23, when the temperature topped 100 and the winds blew 25-30 mph. The turf conditions were ideal and the course really came alive in the wind.

Driving away at the end of the day:
There have been many pictures of Sand Hills posted here before but I thought I'd include a few more. These pictures were taken Monday and Tuesday, July 25-26. The heat wave had been broken, and in fact the temperature Tuesday morning bottomed out at 52 degrees! The wind was blowing in from the northeast (I think), such that #1 was into the wind.

The tee shot at the 5th over the 4th green (notice the walking trail over the dune):
