Spacey I know that you, UB, Stroh, Eagle & Torp are all frozen in, I just wondered about everybody else.
Uummm, right now, in Central PA, it is snowing with 3-6 inches of snow forecast, and maybe an inch or so of sleet/ice on top of that. Not exactly golf weather.  I'm a member of this particular country club myself.  |

Soon to be your local trash man.
I don't play golf anymore. Well, maybe I do sort of. I quit keeping score, started drinkning beer and I started playing better.

Surely, not everybody is snowed in.  You must've missed my thread from Wednesday: http://www.golfhos.com/topic-5728.0   |

I think I'm the only one in Texas, there may be one more. We get snow about twice a year. I don't play much anymore, mostly due to the kids. I've gotten out some this year but it is getting cold and wet now. Maybe Jan will have a day or two that are nice.

Congrats Jules  I just got back from "The Jingle Bell Open". Drove 90 minutes with a 53 year old man who says "dude" every other word, played with the worlds slowest team, 44 degrees and windy, two chain smokers, and a partridge in a pear tree. Finished 5 under, had a great time considering...Oh yeah almost forgot, you had to wear a Santa hat and jingle bells on your shoes. woo hoo! I expect your man Kirk or whatever totally failed to 'appropriately honor' your accomplishment. Russell...sheesh try to pay attention.  ...although if you play him down might give brother stroh the shot he so richly deserves. |

LOL. As you're well aware, I've been known to try too hard. |

It as in the 70s here all week. Come this weekend, it's in the 50s, windy and raining.
Everyone knows I don't play golf in those conditions.

i only play about 10 rounds a year ($, time factors) and those are certainly done for this year with the snowfall in place and the courses closed!

Same story here as Clive, though a little to the south of him. Last Friday through Tuesday or Wednesday it was 70 to 75, though wind and rain this weekend - much needed rain.
Had the opportunity to play at one of the nicer clubs around here last weekend, though my little 5 month old needed a little time with dad, which I was happy to provide.
Good job, Jules!!

Of course not. For you, it has to be much worse. Not just raining and windy, but heavy rain and a strong gale at the very minimum. |

Play once a week here in northern Calif. Next week, we're supposed to get rain, but probably not enough to keep me off the course.

Slow players, well really I think there should be some kind of law, that allows us to go a bit psycho, pull out a shot gun, and blast them out of the way. I hate slow golfers, I get so annoyed and frustrated.  |
