Fleece hats and
skate skis have given way to three woods and golf carts
as the Hillcrest Golf Course opened for the season last
week. The last few patches of snow hiding on the north
sides of sand traps and putting greens were nothing
more than a memory after last weekend's bright sunshine
and warm weather. The driving range was packed with
early season golfers working on their swing and keeping
an eye on their yardage. After an often frustrating
day on the links, there is nothing like throwing back
a cold one as the sun sets over Durango.
