  Does anybody know what that odd looking thing in the middle of the fairway is? Just curious.

  it is an old marker defining the boundary of the course.One side is marked G to represent golf,other side is marked R to represent where is it permitted to shoot rabbits.

  Was told this by a local caddie.

  LMAO-He's pulling your leg, Rich. It's an ancient burial marker. 

  For real.

  Based on a caddie's tale? You live there, I can only go by what is written and I tend to believe Nivlac.  :-)

  edit*-You are right, bear. I read further after your post and that article referenced says exactly what you did. Phew, coulda lost a bunch on that. LOL
