It doesn't get much prettier than Greensboro on a sunny, spring day. The above photo features the Greensboro Country Club, located off Sunset Drive in Irving Park. The day we were there, the water on the golf course was still, reflecting a woman practicing her chipping-- short shot. The main clubhouse, above, was built in 1975, yet the origin of its first golf dates to 1909 in east Greensboro.* The "club" started, at the corner of Summit Avenue and Dewey Street, as a place to practice golf and socialize. It was a "men's club" of sorts, one that didn't have member ship fees.
Indeed, golf has been an important game in Greensboro for over a century. Looking at the above photo, one can see the peaceful aspect of being outdoors, playing golf. Then again, some of the tranquility is lost if you don't make your shot. Happy Friday! May this weekend be restful and energizing.

Admittedly, I've always found the appeal of golf to be baffling.
