Too cold for golf.

Monday was great. Temps in the 30's, no wind, early end to the frost delay - a great
way to get in about 5 miles of walking.
But, temp of 22, and winds of 10-12mph does not make for great golf. Besides, the
course is closed due to frost delay...probably until noon.
I was in Endicott (NY) in October of 79 working at the support center
and I thought a bright sunny day in the 60s would be great golf at the
IBM course. After what I thought was a great tee shot on #1, I walked
up over the hill and found my ball was somewhere in a snow covered
fairway. The south side of the hill was green, the north side white.
I went back to the car.
No, no, no. Find your ball (look for the hole in the snow) and move it to a place
without snow. Legal. We do it all the time, when we have some snow. If the course is
open, then there is enough un-snow-covered ground to have a decent round.

It's great that you play when it is in the 30's and I suppose upper
20's...that way, when you fall over and die from a heart attack or
hypothermia, the cold will preserve your body.
Get out and do some walking. I always end up taking off garments that I started with.
It *is* nice to see you can make a post without name-calling. Although, it does seem
as if you're a bit over-focused on my death.
