I wish I could get my wife to abandon the area. North Carolina's not
much further south, but it'd beat this.

Even northern Florida is too cold for me in the winter, and right
about now I'm having some doubts about south Florida. Neighbors had
an outdoor dock party last night and I ended up going home to put a
sweater on.

I don't really mind a little snow now and then. Hell, I grew up in
Minnesota, off and on until I was about 12 or so.

The few inches of snow we had yesterday was kind of nice. But, with
all the rain we've had for the past couple weeks, the golf courses are
like big, green puddles.

I had a tee time at 10:30 today.

I'm assuming, since you're here, that you didn't play? Don't you have
any of those cute orange balls? Are the courses up there swampish?

I don't have crampons for my snow boots and no I don't have any orange
golf balls. We have between 4 and 7 inches of snow on the ground. There
are some shady parts of my local muni that will take 5 to 7 days of 32+
degrees before they will be free of snow.

OK, here's what you do. Go to the local gym and put in five miles on
the treadmill. Then go to the range and hit a large bucket of balls,
using all your clubs. Almost like playing a round.

Not unless you hit every third ball into the woods, never to be seen
again. :-)

Sounds like my normal MO. I always start with three new balls. I
hardly ever finish with more than one of the balls I started with.

That would last me about 6 holes on a good day, one of the reasons I
became a pool player instead.
