Those are AWESOME shots, BeeBlu!
Certainly better than the golf ones, at least 😉 Thanks, Nancy 😀
Oh I haven’t played golf in years…but I may just have to dust off my clubs after seeing this. 🙂 Beautiful photos.
I hope they inspire you to get out there, Charles! You have some fabulous courses over your way.
I love the photo of the Lost farm it speaks for peace..I really love it..
Thanks, John – it gets pretty wild when the wind comes up 🙂
You do get around! i wonder what mr. kangaroo thinks of all the little white flying shrapnel.
All the golf games I’ve played can be counted on one hand. All the golf scores I’ve accumulated would need a calculator. 🙂

See you there.
Thanks, Cris – golf is a bit like that even for those who’ve played countless games 🙂
Oooohm …
Hehe – it’s more like – @&$#%! most of the time 🙂
I’ve always envied golfers the lovely walk they get to do, these are spectacular courses!
Thanks, Gilly – you should try it 🙂 The walking and scenery are the main reasons I enjoy it so much – and am very frustrated not to be able to walk the courses at the moment because of a foot injury – taking a cart is not quite the same
i don’t play golf but I’d love to go to Cape Kidnappers
It’s a fabulous part of the world, Nursemyra – some really good food and wine around the Hawke’s Bay area as well
Wow, what a beautiful place…
Thanks, aRVee – so many beautiful places in the world and not enough time – sigh! 🙂
i super agree. let’s just be thankful though that we have the chance to experience some of those beautiful places.
Never thought there is so much peace on golf courses until I saw your slideshow. Of course, unless you have a bad game, haha
Yes, having the chance to visit beautiful places is defnitely something to be grateful for, aRVee 🙂
Gorgeous, gorgeous shots… 🙂
Thanks, Elizabeth – it’s great to step away from the work desk and get out in the fresh air for a short break away every now and then 🙂
Your photos undoubtedly exude peacefulness. I love all the photos on that slideshow!
Thanks, Sony – glad they brought a bit of peace to your day 🙂
Three blokes go out to play golf on an 18 hole course. At the third tee off, one member has a massive .heart attack and expires on the spot. The other two carry him back to the club house, and the steward is devastated. “Oh Dear” etc. “You must be very tired carrying him all the way back”, he says. They reply
“Oh no, not too bad. We put him down and picked him up between shots”
Hope you like this story, BB.

That’s funny. I can see golfers doing just that, John. 😀
It is, and so can I, Nancy (not that I would, of course ;-))
hahaha! That’s about right 😀 Thanks for the belly laugh, John

Great combination of peaceful images
i love to invite you here my friend http://wp.me/P1Dwwo-jn
Thanks, Jake 🙂
I don’t play golf myself but I do appreciate the beauty of the courses. I love your photography!
Thanks 🙂 Have you tried golf, Selma? (I have a friend who calls it flog :))
I have played a few times, Bluebee. I really enjoyed it. I wouldn’t mind taking it up regularly one of these days! “flog” lol
Maybe when you have fully recovered, Selma, and I’ve recovered from the foot surgery it looks like I’m heading for, we should have a game 🙂
I’d be too busy gaping at the views to play!
Of course, some of our courses have the added interest of things in the water hazards or in the rough which tend to include human beings on their menus …
Yes, I wonder how many golf balls are fermenting in the stomaches of SA crocs…
The water looks amazing!
It gets really wild when the wind comes up
Definitely makes me think I should take up golf, BB! Beautiful!
Some wonderful courses in your part of the world, Kate 🙂
fabulous series of photos that all perfectly fit the bill
Thanks, Jo 🙂
Great shots!
Thanks, Fergiemoto 🙂
Peaceful indeed with awesome pictures! Thanks for the share 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Madman 🙂
Beautiful!
Thanks, Tilly – getting outdoors keeps me sane 🙂
I used to live near a golf course when growing up. In those days it was open to the public if one behaved oneself. We youngsters enjoyed the recreative pleasures it allowed. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos 🙂
I assume those recreative pleasures included golf, Jan…
While I am not a real fan of golf courses, these shots are breathtaking!
Thanks, Graham 🙂 I’d be interested in why you’re not a fan of golf courses – do you think they negatively impact the environment?
What beautiful scenery and thank you so much. My youngest brother and his wife live in New Zealand, where I will probably never get to visit, so seeing some of these sites is nearly like a brief visit.
What a pity that you may never get to visit them, Renee 😦
Awesome photos Bluebee – especially love the Cape Kidnappers (what a name – hahaha) photos. I love the look of golf courses – the smooth, manicured grass and dips of sand – but I don’t play (I used to go on the course with my Dad and uncles sometimes and that was fun – always looked forward to my double sars treat afterwards – haha).
Thanks, Gabe 🙂 Cape Kidnappers was named after an attempted kidnapping of someone from Captain Cook’s ‘HMS Endeavour’ apparently – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Kidnappers
Funny how those memorable treats from childhood stay in the mind – was sars a drink?
Yes, sars is sarsaparilla (you can get the cordial or a softdrink) – maybe the double sars was both 🙂 thanks for the info
Lovely
Thanks, Pseu – good to see you here 🙂
Oh – Lord have mercy!
😀 that would be useful on the golf course, haha
