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.
No, no, no. Find your ball (look for the hole in the snow) and move it to a place
without snow. Legal. We do it all the time, when we have some snow. If the course is
open, then there is enough un-snow-covered ground to have a decent round.
I wasn't sure the course was really "open". I just walked up and hit
the ball
