Kearney Hills Golf Links: The Front Nine

Kearney Hills Golf Links, Lexington, Fayette County
Designed as a Scottish links-style course by Pete and P. B. Dye, Kearney Hills opened in 1989.

The Welcoming Committee.  This cat spends most of the day napping on the seats of the golf carts that are lined up
and waiting for players to use.  She probably won't move, so just choose a different cart.

Tee it up.

Kearney Hills is an Audubon Certified Sanctuary, and you'll see lots of birds and other wildlife enjoying
this beautiful course.

Try to avoid the numerous often deep bunkers.

You can see horses grazing on an adjacent farm along the entire back edge of the course.

Middlesboro--My Hometown

Today's photos are from my beloved hometown of Middlesboro in Bell County.  I truly believe that I grew up in a little slice of Heaven, and most family, friends, and neighbors must have been angels in disguise. The mountains completely surrounded us like strong, protective arms, and each night before we went to sleep we could see the cross lighting up the mountainside at the east end of town.  We were blessed.
