You take a deep breath, smelling the freshly cut grass. The bright sun shines down on you as you take your stance with golf club in hand. The wind blows softly, rustling the grass and swaying the leaves on each tree. You line up your shot, swing and make perfect contact with your club.It sails through the air past the green, past the sand traps. It lands near the distant flag, and you smile. They say a bad day golfing is better than a good day at work, but you’re having a downright great day on the rolling hills of a Carroll County golf course.
