Crooked Stick Golf Club

Crooked Stick Golf Club is just 2 blocks away from my house. Many well known golf tournaments were held at Crooked Stick such as Solheim Cup and PGA. Because it is a private golf club, we did not have a chance to see golf field.

A chance arrived this year. BMW Championship PGA Golf were held on September 3 to 9. Kay and I decided to go there to see the golf course and some well known golfers.

We parked our car at Coxhall garden to take a shuttle bus to the golf club to maximize our fun. Kay was so happy for a short shuttle bus just like a school kid on the way for a picnic.

Kay seemed to memorize the golf course.

Kay was like a lost child among big guys.

Here is Vijay Singh's practice swing..

Here is Tiger Wood's chip shot.

Since Tiger Wood was surrounded by a big crowd of gallery, this was the closest proximity I could take his picture.

This photo was at Hole 6 green.

When I drove by the Crooked Stick Golf course on the 106th street, I could see a green and a tee off box. This photo was from inside view of that green.

America's Best Places to live.

Carmel, Indiana was selected as No.1 in 100 best places to live in America by September issue of Money Magazine.

We moved to this town from Upstate New York twelve years ago. The move was the best one and we love our town Carmel.

I posed with one of many life-like statues (First Ride by J. Seward Johnson) in Carmel's Art and Design District.

Hot and dry summer

I think Al Gore was right. Many years ago, I watched a documentary called "Inconvenient Truth". It was about Al Gore's campaign to educate world and people on Global warming.

Warm winter has been followed by hot and dry summer. Record breaking high temperature became very common for the last few weeks. In addition to excessive heat, dryness made our lawn to brown in spite of daily watering. Town official made ban on fire work on this independence Day to prevent fire.

Watering my vegetable garden is my daily chore. Tomato and Peppers are relatively successful, but lettuces are going nowhere.

I posted some photos of my garden a month ago to show its humble beginning. A month later, I proudly show some fruits of my labor. 

Peach tree has too many fruits that need to be sorting out. It is very difficult decision which one will stay and should go. I decided. All stay.

My Vegetalble Garden

In Korea, many city dwellers find new homes in country side and start farming. It sounds very interesting and I decided to try it out. Since I have a plenty of space in our backyard, I don't have to move.

I converted my flower garden for vegetables by pulling out some of perennial plants. First year, I want to mix vegetables and flowers in one garden. I also made one box for korean lettuce on our deck.

I bought two tomado plants.

I found several boxes of pepper seedlings at the entrance of our church. I assumed it is for finder's keeper and brought one box for my garden. They are growing nicely.

Our church celebrated Mother's Day after Sunday Worship Service. Members of Men's Mission Group prepared mouth watering hamburgers and Youth group planned and executed variety of games we all enjoyed. Well, I took pictures and produced this short video clip.

Background music is "Mother's endless love".
