She is in the market for a new home. I have not talked or seen her in about 30 years. Now we renew our friendship and catch up and maybe get some business from this Facebook contact.

Golf at the Chateau Golf and Country Club is challenging but to me very forgiving. I enjoy the play of a round of golf on @ Chateau Golf and Country Club.

The course to me plays fast.  The eighteen has the added water hazard, which always leave me asking why I play this game? In my opinion the sixteenth is the hardest hole … (1 comments)
