Howie walking to the white tees on the 16th hole at Green Mountain National

I had the good fortune to play golf yesterday at Green Mountain National Golf Course with some good friends. I have not played in a couple of weeks...preparing the inn for fall foliage guests does take some time after all. So it was just nice to be able to get out and "chase the little white ball".

Fall colors in this part of the Green Mountains are now coming into their own. Everywhere on the golf course the trees in the surrounding mountains painted an every changing picture. The local maple trees are displaying a deep, crimson, red hue. When combined with the burnt orange tones that the oak trees are beginning to reveal, the whole area is erupting with a warm glow, helping to salve the cool temperatures we are starting to experience as fall descends upon Killington.

Golf at Green Mountain was just great. We have a few more weeks (about 5) left in the golf season at Killington. Hopefully I have several more rounds left this year before putting the clubs away for the season.
