Year-round Golf ... Courses are everywhere!

A reference I found claimed that there are 140 golf courses in Palm Beach County.
I don't play, but about 25 years ago I decided to give it a try and scheduled 5 lessons with a pro.
I was having a terrible time with it and after 3 lessons he asked me if I was enjoying it....
I admitted that I wasn't and he very kindly suggested I take up something different, like maybe bowling!
That was the point when I decided instead to take up photography! The rest is history.

Yeah, around here too. Alligators like them for some strange reason. :)

Great place, love the palm trees!

Your story made me smile! I sometimes wonder if I'd be better at golf.......

beautiful story and captures Janice! V

You made the right choice Janet. Mark Twain said golf is a good walk spoiled.

I should have given up golf, at least based on my game. :) I do love it though and I love photography which I started about the same time. In any case Janet, you chose right and are a very creative and skilled photographer. This is a wonderful image with the insert! V

I haven't played in over 10 years. I had a lot of fun when I did but was never very good at it.

I like the Red Flag and the golfers all pointed in different directions in the inset. Glad you took up photography instead of Gold, much more creative and better for your knees!

That is a lot of golf courses. I guess that is the major passtime. Beautiful course and
wonderful presentation.

Can't believe how many golfers there are in Palm Beach County!
My hubby would love for me to learn the game; I'd also rather shoot photos instead! :)

We are so glad about that! :) I used to play golf, but for business reason, never really like the after golf, those drinking lunches, the card games, the..... V

What an inviting green. My husband I started to play golf about 16 years ago too. But in the end I decided that I'd rather have more time on my own and also take photos too. As you said - history!!
