I was the one who picked him up. Met him on the 5th green. He was laying next to the pin. Drove up to the green before hitting and gave him a cheese cracker and some water, even though it was drizzling. He was not distressed. When we returned back to the tee box and hit, he was watching us and as we approached our balls he came bounding over and grabbed a ball. Playing with it and running around the cart. We called the clubhouse, assuming someone would get him but no one came. It was raining hard and my wife was worried he would wander into the street so we loaded him into the cart and headed back towards the clubhouse. Saw the ambassador on the way in and he said there was nothing he/they could do. He let my wife ride back with him as the dog was big and she was riding on the back standing on the tailgate of our cart. Was raining pretty heavily by then. I was writing a thread called found Belgian Shepard outside the clubhouse with the dog as my wife was in the clubhouse calling the radio station. She came out just as I posted it saying there was a report of the missing dog and she had called the number but no answer. The ambassador said he could sit on the steps leading to the clubhouse door. We had a leash in the cart we used to tie him to the rail. They said they would wait for the owners to call back. We left and went home, cleaned up and headed out to eat. Stopped into Palmer and the owners had just picked him/her up. Retrieved my leash and went to TooJays for a brisket platter
