Golfing in Dixie

A couple of weeks ago a group of friends from the neighborhood and others all went down for a weekend golf outing in St. George. Golf alone always equals fun; If you have Golf + St. George weather + a bunch of good friends = Paradise! It was a lot of fun to say the least. As you can see from the pictures; Alec, being from the Vernal area, returned to his tribal instincts and couldn’t help but turn a gentleman’s game of golf into a full blown rabbit hunt. He wanted to bring his .22 rifle but when the course refused to let him put it in his golf bag he decided to just hit the rabbits with golf balls instead. Following his “kill” a coyote decided to come and take advantage of a free lunch. Poor Rabbit. Here is the real story. . . His ball ended up in the sage brush and went to play it and when he hit the ball it nailed a rabbit 50 ft or so away, All I heard was Eric yelling “You Killed it!” “You Killed it!” and Alec responding “No I didn’t!” and then Eric “Yes you did, it is not moving! There is blood coming out of his ear!” After a few minutes Alec came to grips that he had murdered an innocent bunny he felt terrible, had a little funeral service for it, buried it and then made a great shot out of the junk. Needless to say, all animals stayed clear of Alec the rest of the day. We played at “Sand Hollow” the first day and “Green Springs “ the second day. It was a blast even though I stink at golf it was a good time for all!
