This is in theory the second night of my league.  They called it at 10:00 am because of "cold rainy weather".

I just got back from lunch and it was snowing.  I know in the wind you swing easy to keep the spin down, is there a rule of thumb for snow.  Looks like I need to know.

Hot Blackberry Brandy and coffee or tea!

Or just nuke some Scotch and you're all set.....

I'd stick to playing the 19th repeatedly.  But I'm a Florida sissy.

Orange or Yellow golf balls.  Clean your spikes frequently as the snow builds up quickly.  Chip or pitch balls as rolling a ball on a snow covered green will create a build up of snow on the ball until it falls over sideways (like a small tire with the ball in the center).

I hope you were just joking about playing in the snow!

Not really joking but it appears the snow may be done in Michigan, hard to say!
