Default Pole in fernandina
Anyone notice a very tall pole in Fernandina on the golf course where the water treatment or sewage treatment area is across from Bonifay Country Club? Anyone know what it is?

I think it might be a weather station? Considering my only requirement for my lot was that I had no obstruction in my view, and it stands three times the height of the palm trees, I am going to have to put a call in to someone...

Could it be a stationary GPS broadcasting unit affixed to the pole? They are is used for highly accurate GPS golf positions?

Maybe it's the three poles from Buttonwood.

I'm pretty sure it is a flag pole. I bet the flag is coming tomorrow!

Bill. Did you seriously look at my left leg in this orthopedic boot that is keeping me off the golfcourse and causing me to be so irritable? And causing a lot of posting? Well that is going to far. But I am somewhat hobbled.

Plus. I don't dance on a pole. I have perfectly good tap shoes.

Sheesh.

Just established that the pole has been there since 2011. Unbelievable. We have been looking at it and never noticed it.
