Golf Outing at Grandote Peaks Golf Course
Since this would be our last day in La Veta, we decided to have a golf outing at one our favorite courses. Grandote Peaks was designed by Weiskopf/Morrish and is in a spectacular setting! Hard to keep your mind on the game while you take in all of the sites. Behind Barbara is Grandote (the Mountains).
Unfortunately the course is not in the best of shape this year because of the drought! They are on strick watering restrictions and it is only June! Here is another of the wonderful rock outcroppings.
This guy was trying to keep from laughing at my golfing attempts! We saw several deer and one beaver in one of the ponds.
This picture will show the condition of the course. It is still playable but it is turning brown rather quickly. We come to La Veta mostly for the chance to play this course. (Also the ball flies a lot farther at 7,000 feet altitude!)

Wow, that is a beautiful setting.
It's hard to believe the deer get that close in broad daylight. They must be used to people. We have deer come in our yard once in a while after dark and sometimes they're brave enough to let us step out on the deck and watch them for a while. We hardly ever see them in the daylight and if we do, they're usually running.
Thanks for the pictures and the update.
Boy, the golf course sure is getting burning up! I'm glad you got to play it before you left. Where ya'll headin' now? It's 100 degrees back here so we're stayin' inside a lot after work. Don't have to mow nearly as often this way though!
