The Fence





This is a fence running through The Field Club, a country club in Omaha. Golfers have to hit accross this fence 4 times in an 18-hole round of golf. To make it more interesting - the fence protects a very busy street, Woolworth Ave. Not sure how often a car or a pedestrian gets nailed.

A NWAGA tournament was held there Mon - Wed last week. My partner & I placed 9th out of about 50 teams.

So did you hit any balls across the fence and hit a car?

Never hit any car, but did hit the fence a couple of times.

Congratulations on being ninth. Did that pay any money or prizes?
Do you know why there are holes in that fence? To let your balls go through?
At our club you can take things like that down if you otherwise would have to hit over them. I suppose not this one; it looks stuck in the ground pretty good.

Jim, we got gift certificates to the pro shop.

There are holes in a screen door too, but you can't hit a golf ball through it. :) Just like a tree that is 90% air.

I have driven on that street and so far have not been hit. (knock on wood)
