Golf balls roll much further when the ground is frozen. Also, it's possible
to put balls out of saturated sand traps that are frozen. And, hitting a
frozen green can be just like hitting a paved cart path.

Lastly, when there's little wind, golf is very playable when the temp is in
the low 30's.

Duh! It's not as if you're really doing all that much.... walking around in
circles with the occasional swing at a stationary ball.

I wonder how many idiots are out playing golf when ground is frozen and
it is 30F? And why.

Did someone say something about 'doing all that much'?

It's about 4.5 miles of walking, assuming little criss-crossing. If you
play like I do, then you can add another mile or two.

I would venture to say that it's more exercise than staring at a monitor
and typing all day. No?

Heck, even during the spring, summer and fall, Harry never gets out and
uses his boat. He will sell this boat in 5 yrs. with 100 hrs on the

Ahhh. Sarah! The gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving.

Are you sexist? Don't you remember all the hilarity over Dan Quayle? I
even remember a book of his famous mis-statements.

BTW, I'm not *complaining* about Sarah Palin. I'm enjoying her. I think
she is the perfect symbol for the contemporary Republican party, and I
hope she is the party's nominee in 2012.

She's still at it, out there saying one stupid thing after another. Why
would I want her to stop?

Actually, there were quite a few out today. I played in a foursome, and
there was another right behind us.

Temps in the 30s aren't bad if the day is sunny and wind free, like today.
I wouldn't want to be riding in a cart though.

When you start off shooting in the low 70's, as did Harry, golf wouldn't be

When I play golf it is more of a steeplechase than a walk. I am
crashing around in the woods and it is a lot more than an occasional
swing. I get my money's worth out of golf. I get to hit the ball a
couple hundred times for the same price as some folks who only get
70-80. I usually get to see a snake.
I will tee one up in a fairway trap and hit it with my driver. Just
add the stroke penalty that is to my 205 or whatever.


Been there, done that, still doing that quite often!

It's very frustrating. I shot an 89 at my local course a few weeks back.
The next time out I shot 101. The closest I've come to an 89 since then is
a 94. Why? Who knows. Same course, same clubs, same balls. I can see why so
many people quit.

Yesterday I started with 15 on the first two holes. I didn't even add the
numbers at the end of the round. Disgusting.

We'll see what Monday brings. Supposed to hit 40 degrees and sunny.

You can play the ball as it lies from within a hazard without taking a
penalty stroke. What you can't do is touch anything in the hazard with
your club before striking the ball.

Golf rules always amaze me. I just want to hit the ball.

BTW how do you hit a ball in the water without "touching the hazard"?


No practice swings in a hazard. No grounding the club in a hazard. You
can touch the hazard when you swing with the intent on hitting the ball.
If you ball is in the water you are going to get wet.

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.

50s. Then I'd break out the 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?


The Everglades. We caught largemouth bass, some Oscars, a few bream

smallmouth bass! The fishing was so good, we were out there for eight
hours.
