Golf balls roll much further when the ground is frozen. Also, it's possible
to put balls out of saturated sand traps that are frozen. And, hitting a
frozen green can be just like hitting a paved cart path.

Lastly, when there's little wind, golf is very playable when the temp is in
the low 30's.

Duh! It's not as if you're really doing all that much.... walking around in
circles with the occasional swing at a stationary ball.

I wonder how many idiots are out playing golf when ground is frozen and
it is 30F? And why.

Hopefully more than those who sit around a computer all winter complaining
about Sarah Palin.

Did someone say something about 'doing all that much'?

It's about 4.5 miles of walking, assuming little criss-crossing. If you
play like I do, then you can add another mile or two.

I would venture to say that it's more exercise than staring at a monitor
and typing all day. No?

Heck, even during the spring, summer and fall, Harry never gets out and
uses his boat. He will sell this boat in 5 yrs. with 100 hrs on the
meter.

Ahhh. Sarah! The gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving.

Are you sexist? Don't you remember all the hilarity over Dan Quayle? I
even remember a book of his famous mis-statements.

BTW, I'm not *complaining* about Sarah Palin. I'm enjoying her. I think
she is the perfect symbol for the contemporary Republican party, and I
hope she is the party's nominee in 2012.

She's still at it, out there saying one stupid thing after another. Why
would I want her to stop?

Actually, there were quite a few out today. I played in a foursome, and
there was another right behind us.

Temps in the 30s aren't bad if the day is sunny and wind free, like today.
I wouldn't want to be riding in a cart though.

Feh. Never appealed to me.
