Eureka!!

I got to hit golf balls today! In Wisconsin yet!! It was partly sunny, 50º F, and most of the snow has melted.

The range 10 miles up the road is now open! There was a good 10+ mph wind blowing in my face, limited distance range balls and the cold meant very short distances. Everyone on the range (some good swings) were coming up as short as I was but I was able to work out a few kinks.

Quit trying to kill the ball (as I was in Kentucy) with much better results. Even though the ball was going much shorter then on the course, when I connected good with the driver, it felt so GOOD!!

Today I'm a happy camper...

I think I'll be doing the same. Got to play Friday and Saturday. Friday had a few flurries and a little cold in the higher elevations on the course, but Saturday was beautiful. Supposed to rain, snow, sleet and all kinds of fun stuff for the next few days, then warm up by next weekend where we have the first course outing of the year.

got to play yesterday, 4*C, brilliant sun, no wind, &

NOBODY ON THE course. (Actually a threesome started behind me about 10 o'clock, about 3 holes behind me). Great day here in southern Ontario.
I'm starting to really like this game.

Rain, rain and more rain for the next 10 days here. Why I didn't order some rain pants with my GG gift certificate is beyond me. I'm an idiot.

Sure does, Its still just rain at this point, but they are saying later today that it will be changing over. I fully expect to lose power and all the fun stuff that goes with it.

What about the Nickent's? Don't you hate that. Always something at 90% and something else at about 10% to offset things for me.
