Hole 15 Paint*
Par: 4 (Fore)
Yardage: 364 yards from Black Tees
Course Rank: 12th in overall difficulty
Green Surface: 9,270 Square Feet
Distinguishing features: Poplars and mounding line the right hand side of the rough. A deep grass bunker guards the front left of the green. Water is hidden behind the green. Nice view of the mountains, lake, and clubhouse.
Advice from the Pro: Best hole on the course to swing out of your shoes. The wind helps and no out of bounds! Just watch for golfers on the other fairways- FORE! A very flat green as well, with just a hint of dangerous water behind it.
Developed from a base of spotted horses with Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred bloodlines, the American Paint Horse Association breed registry is now one of the fastest-growing in North America. Second only to the American Quarter Horse. .The terms "paint" and "pinto" are sometimes both used to describe spotted horses, but for a horse to be registered as an American Paint Horse, it must have registered American Quarter Horse, American Paint Horse, or Thoroughbred parents.
Each Paint Horse has a particular combination of white and another color. Spots can be any shape or size, except leopard complex patterning, which is characteristic of the Appaloosa. Although Paints come in a variety of colors with different markings and different underlying genetics, these are grouped into only four defined coat patterns: overo (includes frame, splash and sabino), tobiano and tovero and solid. Breeding Stock Paints can sometimes showcase small color traits, particularly if they carry sabino genetics (white spotting patterns). Such traits include blue eyes, pink skin on lips and nostrils, and minimal roaning (brownish coat thickly sprinkled with white or grey.) Photo and article by Wikipedia.org
