Grizzly Golf


(the above title isn't accurate, but i'm willing to sacrifice accuracy for alliteration!)

The US Senior Golf Open is here in Colorado Springs this week at the Broadmoor Resort. Doug is a volunteer there and has been loving it. He's in charge of the 7th hole and an unexpected visitor came across from the 13th fairway yesterday. Doug said he was walking down the hole and saw something black out of the corner of his eye, looked and realized what it was, just 20 feet from him. He called out to the players ahead who scrambled out of the way. Kept things interesting, i suppose!

NO WAY. i saw this online the other day (just a small shot and a caption) and told mark about it. i had no idea it was a DOUG'S TOURNAMENT!! how completely cool (but i also felt sooo sorry for the animals. i mean, they are running out of places to go, you know???).
apparently we have a COUGAR on the loose in our area. is that possible?
