While we once wondered about the migrations of wild animals across the landscape, we now wonder whether the putting greens will be slow or fast. While we once pushed deep into the wilderness in search of herds that have been untouched by other men, we now ask politely if we can play through. While we once feasted on venison liver seared over an open fire and washed back with creek water, we now buy beer from a cooler fixed to the back of a motorized cart parked on a gravel pathway.
