Golfing at the dump

The Blued Heron Golf Club, a public course, deserves top prize from the Urban Land Institute. It was built three years ago on top of a closed landfill, Morgan Falls, in Sandy Springs, just north of Atlanta. I fondly refer to it as the dump.

It's one of the tightest, most challenging courses I've seen. My friend Sean is the general manager. I played there a couple of weeks ago. Joy's friend Pat suggested we get together today and go play. We'll be at the dump, an exemplar of smart land use. I love the smell of methane in the morning.
