I have not cared less that winter is ending the golf season than I currently do this year. It seemed like all season it either rained during my round or the night before, resulting in not very enjoyable playing conditions.

I haven't played a round of golf in over a month and it's rained every weekend since I put the clubs away so I don't regret quitting early at all. It's not that I mind playing in the rain, but I don't exactly have the best rain gear and there's a difference between playing in the rain once in a while and playing in the rain as normal course conditions.

Maybe for next year I'll buy some good rain gear. Then it won't rain once during my rounds all season 😉

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

First frost delay, Long Island. Twilight is now 2. 

All golf courses, imho, should have active Twitter accounts to announce statuses like this.

Another typical day here yesterday... A nice day, mid to high 40s except gale force winds starting mid morning.... I am so tired of the wind here if it's not raining and cold it is windy and obnoxious. Our whole October was ruined by wind 15 to 20 miles an hour on the course or rain. I still played in it yesterday regardless. My drives were blowing across the fairway at least 50 yards.

This was back in a pocket before it got really windy.

Playing golf every weekend is a very, very important and essential part of my life. When I can't play in the winter, which is a lot of the time, I really get depressed about it and it's getting to be winter now and it makes me very unhappy.  This weekend looks bad here.

Played today. It was 46 to 48. I was chilly at the start, but then warmed up.

Awoke to snow, about 2" on the ground this morning.   It didn't accumulate on the roads and a lot has melted by the afternoon.

A guy about three miles from me got 18”. This was at 7am driving to Golf Evolution - we got another several inches after this.

No thanks. The earlier it starts, the longer it takes in the spring to melt and dry out.

Cleaned out the car this weekend and put the clubs in the basement. The first appreciable snow occurred Friday night and 1-2 inches is forecast for tomorrow.  My hope is I can haul them up some time this winter.  My 45 month streak is in jeopardy.

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By snapfade ·

      If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.

      This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
