Friday Flags in Waterbury CT Top of the Hill

Friday Flags in Waterbury CT Top of the Hill

At the top of the western most hill in Waterbury Zip code 06708 is the Western Hills Golf Course.  It is a part of the Waterbury CT Parks system but has a restaurant with views of the hills and the course.

Adjacent to the main building is a flagpole.

On the day I was there, the breeze was constant, and I waited for a full breeze to unfurl the flag.

I only noticed the cloud forming a base for the flag as I was getting to load it for the post.

The course is a challenge, and I may return one day to see how I can fare on it.

Lots of flags flapping in our neighborhood, plenty of strong wind, a reason why I have not yet installed a flag pole due to seeing several ripped off the homes due to wind strength.

Edward (Ed) Silva, 203-206-0754 - I always appreciate seeing the flag because it means so much to me. 

Hopefully, you'll get back to the golf coure and do some enjoyable golfing!

Hi Ed... I think that Old Glory was posing just for you and the skies decided to get in on the act!

That is one tall flag pole!  Nice shot with the cloud, even though not planned.  Often times not planned some of our best work.  🙃  mdm

Ed maybe it is the angle, the flag looks like it is way up there.

Dorie Dillard Austin TX   The one constant for a flag is a golf course and that is always a fine site.

Will Hamm   Thanks for toping and it is high heat and humidity which makes for not being outside too long.

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543   The wind effects on a flag give it character and the look of battle.

 

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP   I find myself looking for flags a lot lately and am seldom disappointed except for the golf course.

Nina Hollander, Broker   I believe you are right as well.  I find that even on a calm day I will get enough of a breeze to make the flag wave.

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho   It is a tall pole, and I was looking up as it was on a hill, and I was below it.

Joan Cox   Thank you  That course is a high slope course and long so it is getting to be a severe challenge for me.

George Souto   I was about 15 ft below the hill, so it made it look really up there.

Myrl Jeffcoat   It was as though the flag gods made it pose for me.

Thanks for the recognition.

Kathy Streib   As I click over the years, my sentiments seem to be getting sharper and I look for them more.

Brian England    I didn't play that day, but went back a few days later and shot an 85.

That's a pretty good score, especially since you said it was a challenging course!

Hi Ed:

You've captured a perfect moment with that Flag in the wind with the clouds and blue sky. Hope you get to play the Western Hills Golf Course sometime - let us know!
