Bear Mountain, Victoria B.C.

Our last round was at the breathtaking Bear Mountain Golf Course that just opened outside Victoria, British Columbia. The name "Bear" is no accident, as it was designed by Jack Nicklaus and is a truly awesome track. I'm not normally one to be nostalgic about difficult golf courses, but this one combines shear beauty with challenging yet fair golf holes. If you play smart, you can have acceptable results. But then which one of us decided to play smart, you ask ???

Terry, Bruce, Roy, Al, John, Lawrie, Jim & Denis Practice green
2nd hole 4th hole
Roy on the 8th tee Denis on the 9th tee
Looking back on the 11th green from above Looking at the 11th green from the tee
Looking across to the 11th green Gumball machine for balls on the 11th tee
19th hole 16th green
17th hole -- Try to drive the green! 18th tee - last chance for greatness

No money on the line, just bragging rights. Only one golfer broke 100--the score card was left blank to protect the incompetent.
