By Mary Lou Gerbi Bears scratch their backs on the pins. Ravens steal balls.
Beavers dam up the water hazards.
And the rough is a no man's land of rain forest, muskeg and ocean. Golf in Southeast Alaska is pretty as a postcard-a living panorama where towering mountains, glistening glaciers, untamed rivers and wild animals make golf an adventure. Wrangell's Muskeg Meadows is a walk on the wild side. Sit on a bench at the fourth tee and you might see Steller sea lions whooshing through the water, or glimpse humpback whales as they pirouette out of the ocean. Watch for harbor seals drifting south on icebergs calved from LeConte Glacier, North America's southernmost tidewater glacier.
