The Pittbulls (boys) at Eagles Ridge

We had a great day at the most magnificent golf course today - playing Eagles Ridge which is the most impressive course we have played so far - outside The Dunes ( and we have played some good ones).

The clubhouse and grounds were pristine with beautiful gardens including roses which impressed me. 

The course was in magnificent condition - the fairways like velvet, the bunkers deadly, the greens challenging.

The Event of the day was Poodles (girls) Vs Pittbulls (boys) in a best score to count.  The Poodles won the day and we celebrated accordingly.
