Phil’s last day in Alaska was spent in the glamorous town of Nome participating in Iditarod activities.  Phil joined our golfing party for 6 holes on the Bering Sea.  Each hole was considered a par 6 and I think we all pared every hole.

It doesn’t seem very tough at first, but the greens were bumpy and usually the biggest challenge was finding you ball after you hit it.  We started off with 8 balls total and after 6 holes we only returned to the clubhouse with one.

You can see by the pictures of the greens they weren’t very easy to put on and we usually ended up using our wedges even once we were on the green.

Dianna pulls back and lets the ball have it!  Well kind of, the ball only went a couple feet but at least she didn’t lose her ball.

Phil gets ready to take a swing.  Watch out Tiger there is a new golfer around.  The only problem is after a good hit, the ball is hard to find.

Here April, Phil and I all spend time looking for the ball.  Other ball lost on the Frozen Bering Sea.  I don’t think we will see the Masters play here anytime soon, but it sure was a fun way to spend an afternoon in Nome.
