I'm doing a lot of project stuff at work, so I have a day here and there when I could play. But, there's no guarantee it won't be raining or snowing that day.

Even if no rain or snow, there might be frost overnight. This means the first tee-off sometimes moves back to 10 AM. If you're not off the tee by 2 PM, it'r rough to make 18.

We got a two-week extension from the GHIN Hdcp system to post scores until Nov. 14, but events this week may crowd golf out.

Focus, connect and follow through!

OK supposedly this coming weekend it MIGHT be 55 and clear on Sunday... I think I might have a shot then!

(yes this is what I'll be doing until the end of the month when my local courses close)

Thanksgiving weekend is our last one then I close the course for the year. I can still get in 9 after work and I sometimes play in the 9 am shotgun. Temp wise below 40 and I am done.

Year-round golf in NC, although are cold snaps when you can't get out.  Biggest change over the summer for me is the shorter days.  With DST I can swing by a driving range on the way home from work and hit a bucket regularly 2-3 times during the work week.  That's gone now.  I can play about as much but practice less.  Biggest problem I have with golfing in cold weather is keeping the hands warm.  If they get too cold it can become pretty unpleasant.

8:30am tee time yesterday in shorts and a jacket. My jacket came off by the third hole. Gotta love Northern California.

2" of snow last night and lows in the 20s all week.  Im thinking golf season is probably over for me.  I may be able to get out on Sunday in the early afternoon but my normal rounds during the week are probably done.

snow flurries this morning.

Same here. Was up at my Dad's place this past Saturday, he lives about an hour north of me, woke up to 2.5 inches of snow! Kids were excited, me not so much. :no:

105 rounds?! Nicely done. Haven't been able to do that since high school.

I have clinical golf OCD - I work with an office full of golf enablers, and my wife loves to golf, so I have no choice, I pretty much just show up (at least half of those are 9 holes after work rounds)

I played last weekend on a delightful sunny Saturday at 55F, and thought the season was over, especially when I woke up this morning  to 22F and a dusting of snow on the ground.

Now they say high 50's Sunday and Monday for Northern Illinois. It's not over yet.

We'll here in va it was 70 two days ago the we got flurries last night. Usually if we get snow it's January or February, so that was unusual. Typically I can play year round without too much trouble. In fact this is my favorite time of year to play since a lot of people stop playing. I will say that hunting starts to take priority over golf though

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
