with mountains rising in all directions from the vantage point.
Beware of the fairway bunker on the right side and two bunkers fronting the long, slim green. The 5th hole is a 589 yard par 5 with a wide swath of wetlands bisecting the hole. The 11th is a 175 yard par 3 over water to a hidden green behind two fringed bunkers. And the 18th is a challenging 551 yard par 5 that doglegs sharply to the left.
If all this golf sounds inviting, play the Palouse Ridge Golf Club at your earliest convenience. If the sun is shining brightly, bring along a pair of Condor Sportsman sunglasses from www.scientificgolfclubs.com. These high quality shades protect your eyes from harmful UVA, UVB and UVC light and improve your game because they're rimless across the bottom so they don't interfere with your line of sight when you look down at the ball. They enhance your depth perception by giving you sharper contrast, so you can track your shots and judge distances accurately.
The Condor Sportsman sunglasses weigh less than an ounce, so you don't even know you have them on and feature lens material developed by NASA that helps you see the ball more clearly.
