Today was interesting on Osprey Links.  As I walked around the mosquito infested course, I tried to focus on making good contact.  The weather and course conditions have prevented me from playing much to date, however that is soon to change.  While playing today I had 14 good holes.  (I changed my thinking from 4 bad holes – thanks Norman Vincent Peale)  I hit the ball relatively well, but nothing fantastic yet.  Well I digress.

On the 16th tee box, a gentlemen and Bella asked if they could join my friend and I for the last three holes.  Of course, we let him because I am always grateful to meet new people. The interesting thing about this request is Bella is a dog.  She is quite beautiful, quiet, and very well behaved.  My friend and I are both animal lovers and enjoyed both their company.  Bella did not cause any problems, nor her master, during the rest of the round.  I know some may be thinking that a golf course is no place for a dog, however it is a tough call.

So here is my question, should dogs be allowed on a leash on the golf course?

I am a grateful golfer!  See you on the links!
