Joining Patty and Larry at the golf course will be their sons and families. William "Chuck" Fulbright is a golf course superintendent that has worked at high-end golf facilities such as La Cantera in San Antonio, which hosted the PGA Tour's Texas Open for many years. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge about turfgrass maintenance and irrigation. Kyle Fulbright is a PGA Golf Professional that will oversee the golf shop and driving range. Kyle has taught for several years to golfers of all abilities and he will maintain an active junior golf program. A third son, Larry 'Chip" Fulbright jr., will be joining the family upon completion of his Navy career. The Wolf plans on opening the driving range, food and beverage operation and the bowling lanes this fall with the golf course coming online in the summer of 2012. After the greens have grown in, the next phase of the project will involve making the golf course handicap accessible so that anyone can enjoy the great game of golf. This is a project vital to Larry as he spent 28 years in the Army and is wanting to dedicate programs at The Wolf to wounded and disabled veterans. Larry and Patty invite anyone in the area to stop by and say hello as they work hard to make The Wolf ready to howl!

Written by Diane Rutland, Greenleaf and Tenkiller State Parks, "Two great places to park!" www.travelok.com Each day brings about more yellows and oranges in contrast to the green pine trees that are so prevalent in this area. Sumac gleams bright red and the yellow sassafras and orange poison ivy leaves make for an enjoyable sight. A drive through Greenleaf State Park or Tenkiller State Park will give guests a real treat to the trees that have begun to turn. |

Trees reflect a quilt of fall colors as they embrace the hills around the lakes. The yellow leaves of the hickory trees and persimmon trees are easy to spot. The orange and red colors of the maple trees are just beginning. The winding leaves of the Virginia Creeper are adding vibrant red touches to the trees that are still holding on to their leaves. There is so much color right now and we expect the peak to be possibly this weekend. You can go to www.travelok.com and get the latest foliage reports. It's a good link to Foliage for lots of routes throughout the state. The site is updated as often as reports come in to them. Click here for a cornucopia full of fall foliage photos of Lake Tenkiller
