I was struck by the shape of this Beech Tree which looked like a golfer part way through the "downswing". It is amazing how trees become shaped by their environment and very often you can determine the elements that have dictated their form. However, in this instance it would be hard to speculate what had caused this mature tree to become shaped in this way!
I love the mossy green arms swinging the "tree wood"!

Questa area ricca di storia è stata sin dal passato raccontata da poeti e narratori, così si unirono storie e leggende, dalla realtà, al fato, al mito, da Zeus a Ercole, Enea, Ulisse, Miseno, Baiano, Diomede e quanti vi oziarono e furono felici in questa terra, come Catullo, Orazio, Cesare, Lucullo, Pisone, Pompeo; Bruto, Virgilio, Agrippina, Nerone, Plinio, Catone l'uticense, Caligola, Properzio Strabone e Stazio.
Le eruzioni più antiche risalgono ad oltre 35.000 anni, la più recente, quella del 1538, ha dato origine al Monte Nuovo, il più giovane vulcano d'Europa. Laghi, mari, golfi, baie, insenature, punte, promontori, isole, scogli, colline, pinete, solfatare e terme rendono questa terra tormentata e affascinante unica al mondo.

Thomas Archer IV (1862-1934) was a keen sportsman. He was a motoring enthusiast and also the Commodore of the historic Tamar Yacht Club. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/54223381886/in/dateposted/
But his real passion was golf. In 1900 he established a 9 hole golf course at Woolmers with the first tee set just outside this old stores building. The bottom floor had been converted into a club house for members of the Longford Golf Club. Championship events were held here until 1915.
Thomas Archer V (1892-1975) followed in his father's sporting footsteps, and using this literal home course to advantage became a Tasmanian champion and even competed in the Australian Open. He and his wife Marjorie Patten actually first met in their teens over a round of golf.
