Golf WY: Buffalo Golf Course

Posted by Sue on June 29, 2009

Buffalo (WY) Golf Course

SCJ Rating: 4 1/2 stars out of 5

Greens Fees: $$$ out of $$$$$

Men’s White Tees:

Women’s Tees: ?? Strokes, Slope 118 (?? yds)

I had heard only wonderful things about the municipal course in Buffalo, WY … where Jake was born and raised. Actually, I played it once before … when I was about 8 months pregnant with Missy. A friend convinced me to play in a tournament and I wound up winning it! Very amusing, but … I digress. The town, and thus the course, sits at the base of the Big Horn Mountains in northeastern Wyoming. There is still quite a bit of snow on the mountain peaks and there may be more after the storms which may be coming this weekend. So the course sits at the base of the mountains and half the time you are going uphill looking at the beautiful scenery in the background. SPECTACULAR!!! (Photos to be posted at a later date.)

Then there are also the deer who apparently feel like they own the place. One sat under a tree today and didn’t move while I hit my ball from only 20 feet away. Later we saw a doe with 2 of the cutest little bambis! Those babies just pranced their way across at least 3 fairways just as cute as they could be!!! (Unfortunately NO photos of these cuties.)

The course itself was a decent challenge without being overly so. There were plenty of trees lining the fairways. It was NOT fun when the ball decided to stay under a Blue Spruce!?! The par 3s were a particularly pleasurable mix of various distances … which I have found to be unusual from most forward tees. All in all … I can’t wait to play the course again! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars … it’s a little hard to get to … by plane, train or automobile, it is a LONG way from nowhere … and they like it that way!?!

Billy and fam visited our new home in AR for the first time the last weekend in October. That low Continental airfare is a winner and you can travel from Houston to NW AR in a heartbeat! We certainly enjoyed entertaining everyone … especially the grandkiddos!?! Click on the photo to see other shots from their visit on Karen’s Flickr site.

SNOW! Need I say more?!?

From Richard …

On Tuesday, we did snow play in about 2′ feet of snow at 6500′ in the mountains east of Redlands. This is left over from a really big storm we had come through last week. Yesterday, we went to the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park about 25 miles NE of San Diego. Today, Susan & Missy have gone shopping at the outlet mall, while Peter & Aaron have spent a couple of hours asleep in the hammock in the back yard. Tomorrow, we hope to go look at the Rose Parade floats. Even with all this, we haven’t been able to slow down Aaron yet!

Good Morning Jake, originally uploaded by pcklinger.

Hubbie is out on the balcony enjoying the view on a lovely morning in Ketchikan, Alaska.  Upon further review, I believe hubbie is enjoying our departure from Ketchikan in the early afternoon.  Particularly enjoying the fact that the ladies are no longer spending their money shopping in Ketchikan which was our first port of call!!!

W Fam … Aaron’s First Road Trip!

Posted by Sue on November 10, 2006

4 Generations of the W Fam
Grandmother W came to town for a visit last Monday.  Missy, Susan and Aaron took off to visit the great-grandparents in the Ft Worth area along with the rest of the relatives in the area.  Following is a quick rundown on how things went.

He slept all the way there and all the way back.  He was happy for about an hour after he ate and then would FREAK out and did not want to go to sleep.  We all tried to hold and calm him.  Marna had a GREAT time seeing him – she was excited to have a little baby around.  We got to meet Gabrielle and she is precious (born in July).   He was awake this morning from 3 until 5 and then up again at 6.  Fortunately Susan watched him from about 6 to 8 for me so that I could rest and take a shower – he was just crying up a storm!  He is happy to be home as evidenced by his smiling, cooing and playing with his toys.

ALL the Cousins!
Sounds just like his mother’s first road trip!
