I think we are going to float away.

I am going online for Ark building plans as soon as I finish this post.

We had 10 inches of rain in November and it has rained three of the past six days. And tomorrow. I was lucky to get a round in yesterday morning before it started raining at about 12:30....

Is this an El Nino? My checks of Weather Channel showing it raining over much of North America..... :(

Bravo, I think I actually did hear our weatherman mention this as an El Nino winter. The weather is about the same here. We had a ten day stretch with 8" of rain with other areas south getting over 15". It was the second weekend in a month with no golf.

If they are right, it's suppose to let up after tonight. Please be right.

Hey, we could be Rockford with a broken snowblower so I guess it's not that bad. :p

We are experiencing El Nino effects this winter, just not as intense as it was a few years back (I golfed X-mas day that year, if you can believe that!)

All this wacky weather has to deal with the temperature of the water in the Pacific. It's up a few degrees, and this in turn drives our weather.

Man, what I would give for +15 right now.

That, and a snowblower tune up kit. :D

The pic on the right reminds me of a couple of holes on my junior home club.

It has Bermuda sand bunkers and is super lush. You'd never expect it to be as good as it is if you saw and pictures of where I live.

Funny, alot of courses like that around here are like that now that I think of it. Yet, some suck.

The course is good it is 6500 yrds long alot of interesting holes but no water hazards. Are you sure your course doesn't look like the people in the club house must be snowed in. :D

Well it blew through here again at about 7:30 am - just in time to take the kids to school....sunny now.

I told the Czar of our Saturday group to put me in for next Saturday morning.

Hope the course can dry out some by then.....
