Thank you Cathy, it was a great day.  Looks like I might be able to keep my clubs out a little longer, no snow in the forecast and high 30's (hopefully) this weekend.

Hey Paul

I brought my clubs in yesterday, Monday low 40's sunny felt good 9-holes, Tuesday low 50's cloudy felt cold 18-holes, Wednesday 60's sunny 18 holes in short sleeves.

Right now 7am Thursday, 57* and rain, clubs will be staying inside.

We keep getting these blasts of warm weather then rain cooling back down.

Monday you couldn't make a ball mark, couldn't fix one either, Tuesday you could make a little mark, yesterday the ball plugged.

Hi Quintin

You know, if I had half a brain I probably would have brought my clubs in the end of October when "Hit and Stick" on the greens was no longer an option on approach shots.  I love to play, I enjoy a challenge almost as much as the game itself.  Through the season I play in rain (sometimes quite heavy), we get days in South Dakota where the wind gusts over 50 mph, I play then too. 

Shortly after they closed the clubhouse for the season, they plugged the holes on the green and marked them with small red flags, I use a "portable hole" from a "Golf Pool" game that my daughter got me a couple of years ago at Christmas (I finally found a use for them lol).  It took some getting used to hitting in front of the green and letting the ball roll (and bounce) to the hole, but I find it almost as enjoyable.  I guess the important thing for me is, I get to keep working my swing, in the Spring I know how far I hit my Irons, so "Hit and Stick" will be easy to get used to again. 

Thanks for the comment.   Hope you have a great off season :)

I played as much as possible last winter, I fudge on my 40* rule sometimes......sun out, no wind, maybe go as low as 35*.

I play in the rain.......in the summer, too likely to get sick in the winter.

After this morning it hasn't rained much, but I had already decided to hit the weights and run. I'll probably stay with working out this winter(mostly, depends on the weather).

I normally don't carry an umbrella because it is too much of a hassle, but yesterday I bought a SunMountain cart, it has a tube that clips under the frame, pull it out and screw it into the handle then put the umbrella handle into it......this can be a sun shade too.
