I suppose I should have known that there would be some sort of karmic connection with "anaconda" and "snakes". When I got back to the clubhouse, one of the duffers came over to chat. He had seen me out there golfing and wanted to know how it had gone. I actually made my first birdie today! He then began to tell me stories about the rattlesnakes on the course! When I mentioned it to the manager when he came over to chat he said "No problem, they hang out mostly on the back nine." It is a good thing that I spend so little time in the brush. I was having a good driving afternoon. It was grand fun. Dang I like this golf! And the rib injury has disappeared which is a relief, so no pain.
