Good salary and benefits = trips to places that are warm in the winter.

If you take that job, I'll drive down and have a round with you.

How's that for another incentive?

Add about three feet of snow to your mental image and you'll understand why we're all going crazy up here right now...

We don't get that much snow. And only two months average in the minus (for *F). 80+ in the summer with little humidity. Some of the greatest courses you'll find for the money.

Plus, Bames and I are here.

Dude, this is a no brainer.

Screw that. That sucks. I thought you had something cooking in NC? That would be my #1 choice. I've talked with my GF about possibly moving down there.

I will say that North Dakota is very underrated when it comes to golfing. Most years you can go from early to mid April all the way into November. We only get a month and a half to 2 months of that kind of cold. Grand Forks has a Arnold Palmer course called Kings Walk where I am a member, and you can play Hawktree, Bully Pulpit, and Red Mike out west for not much more than $100 and I guarantee you will not find a better deal than that anywhere else.

jerome, YOU I might believe, but I KNOW Rockford is full of shit.

He's just trying to get me to move 1625 miles (yes, I looked it up on Mapquest) so he can laugh at me when I couldn't leave the house for 6 months out of the year.

Jerome, thank you for coming to my rescue. See, people down in Georgia, they eat alot of lead paint....

Doc, Jerome, Bames and myself would be in the same boat. Think about it. Maybe we'd make a road trip and watch you cut up cats.

I'm in. Its too cold here....or....I mean, I could use an educational vacation. I would have to agree that some of the most impressive courses I've played (or built ) are in North Dakota.

Plus, once you move here you will attest to the fact that the cold keeps the "riff-raff" out. Good people live up north and live longer. We are like fruit that spends more time in the refrigerator than on the counter.

King Par is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm about 2.5 hours North of Grand Forks and if it's anything like Winnipeg it'll be windy most of the time.

The winters are beautiful here though, and the summers are hot and humid!

Take it Doc. You won't regret it. In the winter you will have more time too drink and ice fish.
