The Living Desert

While we were golfing on the Faldo course at Desert Ridge, we were part of a Bee Storm.  We were paired with a couple from Seattle who were staying at the Villa's at Desert Ridge.  We were on Number 6 and he hit his ball off the fairway into the desert a little.  He went out to get it and came back onto the fairway screaming 'Help Me, Help Me!!'.  We looked and could see a swarm of attack bees on him.  We started toward him and then could see that was not a good idea.  Within the next 2 to 3 minutes before he could run away from them, he was stung probably about 50-60 times.  It was a mess.  They immediately went to the ER and I was not going off the fairway.
