Haven's missed a weekend yet, althought we did have to play in the rain last weekend, luckily temp were close to 60. Today not so lucky, 27 as I type and might get to 30 before our tee time at 7:15, but we'll be playing. I expect to miss a weekend or two during February due to weather.

Mine won't be till late April or early May. I am a little nervous this year as we have about an inch of ice right on the grass with all the snow above it. Last time we had a little ice directly on the ground below the snow we had temporary greens on some holes till late June, not looking good for this year sadly.

I played 50 holes last weekend at the Sub base in New London, 27 on Sat, 23 on Sun. I am now very well aquainted with my new Hybrid! Granted that's it until spring, it's simulator season now...

I ordered a Chicken and an Egg on the Internet, to find out which came first... I'll keep you posted!

Played in Jan. 1. It is a family tradition. No matter how bad the weather we are out and playing. This year was about 30 degrees with 15-20 mph wind. Have played in nice weather, snow, sleet. You name it and we have played it. Also we all take a shot of black velvet in memory of my grandfather on the first tee (he started the tradition many years ago.)

In about two hours. My last round was Christmas. Have practiced often since but just haven't got to the course.

But I'm off work today & my golf bud is in town so we're gonna go walk Winter Park CC. Beautiful day - sunny 70 degrees.

Yesterday (Jan. 15, 2012) at Legacy Ridge in Westminster, CO.

I am hoping the forecast for snow tonight does not materialize so that I can play sometime this week (supposed to be near or in the 60's Wed-Sat.)

Played 9 on Jan 1 with a couple of friends. Shot a 39 so my best start to a Β year yet... Being in Boston my guess is round #2 will be somewhere around the end of March although we have no snow yet.

Haven't played yet in 2012 (in SE PA), but I'll be out every chance I can get since I'm taking a golf trip to Tampa in mid-late March.Β  I'm really excited to play the Copperhead course at Innisbrook.Β  We'll be there only a couple days after the Transitions Championship wraps up so the course should be in immaculate condition. I want to get as much practice in as possible b/w now and then so my game's sharp.

Well due to the dry, and unusually nice weather for January here. I've already been out twice this year. Usually around here, I don't get out until March or April because of the cold or snow.

Mine won't be until March, I usually take time off when my wife is on Spring Break, but this year it is pretty early, so I'm saving that week for summer time when I know I can golf.
