Yesterday playing at ColoVista in Bastrop I did something that seems highly improbable. With my regular group we were teeing off on 18. I had been hitting a little fade with my driver. Aimed up the left side of the fairway and let it fly. I never saw the ball. One of my friends was standing behind me and he said he saw it go left. He said he saw a limb fall out of the tree and the ball dropped straight down.

We drive up to the tree and see my ball. I get out of the cart to go hit it and almost step on a dead squirrel. It took me a second to process exactly what had just happened. The squirrel had blood coming out of its nose and mouth and was clearly freshly dead. I picked it up and told my friend "here is the limb". I could not stop laughing. Chunked my next shot.

What are the odd of nailing a squirrel with your tee shot?

Here is the dead squirrel.

The leftist is driven by something other than facts and can’t be cured.

once had a squirrel pick up a drive out of the fairway and take the ball up into a tree.


How is colo these days? Last time I was out there was late spring and it was pretty rough conditions.

The greens are good. The rest of the course is pretty awful. For some reason they have decided to let certain areas outside the fairways just grow wild. You hit in those areas and are more likely to find 4 other golf balls and never your own. It absolutely kills pace of play too. They don't maintain the sand traps. They are pouring water to the course but in such a way that if you hit the fringe of the green it is mud and just stops. We have been members since Pine Forest closed. We are all pretty frustrated with the conditions.

They have paid staff doing maintenance. However, ownership has changed a bit and brought a different philosophy. I'm not sure if they are trying to save money by leaving these areas wild. I knew Les Appelt and played golf with him a few times. He would be rolling over in his grave if he saw the conditions now.

I'm sure he would be. 25 years ago, there was not a better public course in central Texas. It was really nice.
