Yeah, the island floating green is the signature feature of the Coeur d'Alene resort golf course on the lake's north shore.
It's the world's first and only floating movable island golf green, because you can move it as well.
It is the par 3 14th hole.
It was inspired by the sight of a tugboat towing logs, and it was conceived by the resort founder's
Dwayne Hagedorn, and Jerry Jager.
Well, those are some white people in Montana, if I've ever heard of them.
The first ball was struck on it in 1991.
It's a 15,000 square foot, 2,200 ton platform of concrete cells and styrofoam base with bunkers, three trees, and flowerbeds.
is repositioned daily via an underwater cable system.
The yardages of the hole typically range from 90 yards all the way to 220 yards for a championship.
But hitting a 220-yard golf shot into a floating island green is a wildly difficult thing to do.
Wow.
Yeah.
Most often they play it around 140 to 170 yards.
And the golfers reach the island by electric shuttle boat called butter.
No, called putter, obviously.
And balls that miss are retrieved by divers, and tens of thousands of them are retrieved per season.
It's an iconic engineering and golfing landmark, actually, and it seems to be very popular.
you know if it's played not like an international competition popular no I've never heard of any serious competition being played on the course but a resort course you know a holiday course like you pay for a
spa and golf hotel and lakeside holiday, that kind of thing.
