FIRST DAY WITH SHEEP - June 21, 2010

#5 Fairway.  It would appear that the sheep are rushing the golfer/Member/photographer, however, Bandit (not visible in this image) was herding them back to #4. 

Sheep settled down, thinking about the bridge, looking back over their shoulders for Bandit...  Still on #5.

SUMMER 2009 PRINCIPAL'S NOSE CONSTRUCTION

"The Principal's Nose" while underway in #7 fairway.  Ground under repair.  (Ours is the reverse image of the Principal's Nose on #16 on the Old Course at St. Andrews.)

 Shaping with sod and adding sand...

 Amelia, age 7, likes to help add sand...

Amelia's friend Madison, age 8, helps, too!  (Her parents think she's here to play... Ha!  They are busy operating the Inn at Old Town in Bandon... See our Bandon, Oregon page.)

Bandit, our Border Collie, supervises the action.  We hope to have sheep for him to supervise before high season 2010.  He can't attend sheepdog training school until he is one year old.  That will be in March.
