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.

Don't they have orange florescent balls for that?
I have that problem this time of year playing fetch with our dog at the park.

When the ball is buried in the snow, the color makes no difference. One must find the
hole and stick a hand in it. And, pray it's not a snake hole!

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

Too cold for golf.

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
