Golf is a major sport and form of recreation in Greensboro, North Carolina. We have at least 12 courses: Bryan Park, Bur-Mil Park, Cardinal Golf & Country Club, Forest Oaks Country Club, Gillespie Park Golf Course, Grandover Resort's West and East Courses, The Greensboro Country Club's Ross and Maples Course, Pleasant Ridge Golf Course, Sedgefield Country Club, and Starmount Forest Country Club.
Historically, we are perhaps best known for the Greater Greensboro Open, first played in 1939 with Sam Snead winning. The tournament has been renamed more than once and played at Sedgefield, Forest Oaks, and Starmount Country Clubs.
During this hot, dry, drought-like fall in Greensboro, we had to practice great restraint not to run through this starburst of water to cool off! We post this picture of a hole being watered (NOT a watering hole!) for Watery Wednesday.
A nice shot, with nice composition, colors, light and lines.

If it were a hot summer day, I don't think I would have been able to stop myself! What a fun picture!

Just a reminder that Sammy Sneak was the golf pro at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. When I began teaching in Greensboro and was on my way home to W. Va. (near WSS) for a visit, I got caught in a snow blizzard and might not have made it from Roanoke on without following Sammy Sneak's well-marked trailer. I knew where he was headed! JTM

It's nice to see something different besides lakes, rivers, oceans, etc. I'm guilty of those, believe me, and I love them, too, but this is a fresh perspective on water. It's a great shot, mesmerizing even. The lighting is excellent, and I like all the different directions that the water is spraying.

Amazing shot. This is great! However, I think that you should have put your camera down, thrown caution to the wind, and enjoyed the cool water! Now that would have been a great picture for your blog.
