Oakwood Country Club

For our final golf class, we headed over to the Oakwood Country Club.

The Oakwood Country Club was established in 1954.  It's located in an area of large homes with lush landscaping.  There is an olympic size swimming pool and a fancy club house.

We were the only people on the putting green, which was lucky for us.  We practiced our chip shot using a pitching wedge.  The objective is to get your ball, from the area around the green, onto the green and as close to the hole as you can.  The ball is supposed to fly up in the air and land on the green.  Our balls flew around all right.  And some even went in the direction they were supposed to.

Next we got out our putters and attempted to putt the ball into the hole.  Billy, our teacher, said I was doing a good job.  I told him I've played a lot of miniature golf.

The golf course was so pretty.  I could bring a lawn chair and a book and spend the day there.
