Any 300 yard drives?

No, but a couple in the 250 range. And, of course, a couple in the
woods.

30's. Low 50's here, and I avoided doing the pruning on the grape vines
by
going to the boat and installing a new impeller and nozzle in the jet.


50s. Then I'd break out the shorts.

Cold when you are used to 68-75 degrees this time of year.
62 a little while ago. a couple blocks from the house.

Cold? pfffffff..
I'll show you cool...... cold is yet to come, winter just started!

Makes your brain go mushy that much cold weather.

Probably not losing many balls in the ponds?


The tee starter actually made that demonstration on the first hole. He
rolled a ball across the little pond!

Right now things are looking great for Monday and Tuesday:

If the wind's not blowing Wednesday looks good also. But, not good for
shorts!

58º at 6am today when I got to the dock - in shorts.

It was a great day of fishing.

Where? Did you catch anything?

How do you know the pond is frozen hard enough to play a ball off the
center? ... or do the rules make you take a drop?

A player may hit a ball in a water hazard, whether the hazard is frozen or
not. Of course, he takes the risk upon himself to walk out to the ball. I'm
sure you've seen a pro on TV take off shoes and socks to go hit a ball out
of a creek or other water.

Another choice is to take the drop, and the stroke penalty.

Another physics lesson.

The Everglades. We caught largemouth bass, some Oscars, a few bream
(like a bluegill) and a lot of peacock bass. They fight better than
smallmouth bass! The fishing was so good, we were out there for eight
hours.

Another physics lesson.

Good show. Next time take the camera so we can get good and jealous.

I'll post them later. They are at my office right now.
