| Can't match that story (yet), since the weather here in MA hasn't
deteriorated that far; but went to the local course yesterday morning
as a lone-some, and got hooked up with Moe, Larry and Schemp (pretending
to be 3 guys named John, Mike and Joe). I knew I was in trouble
when two of them stepped onto the first tee carrying rental clubs;
just how much trouble became even clearer when Joe (Schemp) said
to Mike (Moe): "Is this anything like miniature?" Oh, well, despite
the slapstick aspects of the round, I got off some good-to-excellent
shots (even managed to tame the pitching wedge!), and wound up with
a respectable score. Hoping for a couple more opportunities before
the snow arrives.

I live in the tropical state of Iowa, :>( and had a fun round
yesterday. It was about 40 degree's with a 30 mph wind, which made
it feel about -20.
Anyone ever played in high wind??? I had:
A well hit drive go about 60 yards-(into the wind)
A well hit drive go about 302 yards-(with the wind--flew the green)
A 140 yard PW
A 40 yard 5 iron
A putt do a semi-circle
and..
A final score that needed a computer to add up!!!!!
BUT, at least it was golf!!!!!

| I guess most of us has played after the sun goes down, but I remember
one time that from the moment we hit from the eighteen tee, we could
see where our ball went. I lost two balls and when finally holed-out
it was in complete darkness. It was one of those time that nobody
felt like quitting. We were talking about bringing next time those
balls that glow in the dark.
Another case of overcommitment (craziness?) is that last year I
played so late in the year and the greens were so frozen that my ball
was bouncing on (and mostly off) the greens as if they were made of
cement. I expect to do the same this year.
