Willie Nelson's Pedernales Cut-N-Putt Golf Club

There was an article in the Globe and Mail recently on golf courses in the Austin area. We won't take our clubs (oversize is a real hassle these days) but we may play a couple of times. There are five municipal golf courses that are very reasonable and one gets a particularly good rating. Willie Nelson's golf course is in the area as well and I had a laugh at his "rules".
