1. The Russells enjoyed a round of golf at Wanaka Golf Club one sunny day in January 2010.

2. The Wanaka Club sits on a high bluff above the town of Wanaka. Undulating fairways bordered with nice trees made the beautiful course a challenge to play.

3. The backdrop for Judy at this hole was incredible—Lake Wanaka in the foreground and snow-capped peaks in the distance.

4. The day we played, it was sunny with a light breeze: perfect conditions. And the scenery on many of the holes was amazing.

5. Some of the fairways and edges were not as green as possible; the lack of rain contributed to the course condition, we were told.

6. Most greens were in great shape—small, but nice. The pines that were on the course were in great condition.

7. Some nice flowers were on the edge of the course and added to the beauty of the scene.

8. Some views were toward the lake; others toward other mountains.

9. Of course, Bob got to experience nature—trees and bushes—as he hacked and whacked.

10. Some of the trees on the course were huge!

11. The clouds gave us a little break from the hot sun—luckily, we didn’t get rained on during our round.

12. Nice signs marked each hole (measured in meters). All the Par 3 holes had hole-in-one prizes.

13. This nice little green was guarded by a sand trap and bunches of thick trees.

14. Some of the course flora.

15. Our round of golf at Wanaka was very enjoyable; it would be a great course to play regularly.
