Monday was great. Temps in the 30's, no wind, early end to the frost delay - a great
way to get in about 5 miles of walking.

But, temp of 22, and winds of 10-12mph does not make for great golf. Besides, the
course is closed due to frost delay...probably until noon.

I was in Endicott (NY) in October of 79 working at the support center
and I thought a bright sunny day in the 60s would be great golf at the
IBM course. After what I thought was a great tee shot on #1, I walked
up over the hill and found my ball was somewhere in a snow covered
fairway. The south side of the hill was green, the north side white.
I went back to the car.

Endicott is tropical compared to the upstate NY town that I grew up
in.

That is why the snow surprised me.
It certainly made me reject the SPR job they were trolling in front of
me. I did it for 3 months of a 6 month TA and I called my office and
told me to get me outta there.
Next trip was Tucson for a look see ;-)

Didn't take that job either
