“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog 4
Another place that I find beautiful and extremely peaceful, is the golf course. Each golf course has its own beauty no matter where it is at. Some of the public courses here dry up in the middle of the summer, but just because the grass is brown doesn't mean that the course isn't beautiful. There are many attributes of beauty to golf courses. There is the short green grass, the trees and landscape, and even the lakes and ponds although they can cause trouble to your game. One of my favorite courses in northern Kentucky is actually Kenton County. They have three different courses with a total of 54 holes. That means you have 54 chances to appreciate the beauty that is around you. Each course has its own beauty and difficulty as well. There is also a very beautiful golf course that we go to in Naples, Florida that is probably my all-time favorite course as of now. It is very beautiful, especially since the vegetation down there is different than the vegetation that we see up here and even on our golf courses. When you are on the course doing what you love, it helps you appreciate your surroundings and see the beauty in it all. It always helps when you even play well that day. When you are on the course you also see different animals such as the birds, deer, squirrels, and rabbits. You can get to see the real beauty of nature when you are on the golf course. It is easy for people of all ages to appreciate what is around them when they are actually out in nature participating in whatever it is they love to do. The golf course is just one of those places I can go and relax and do what I love, but at the same time see and appreciate the beauty of the nature around me. To me, golf courses are all around beautiful places that anybody can go and enjoy what they see.
