Good morning from a chilly Southeast Tennessee! It's 40 this morning with a high on the evening that's gong to threaten 80. I had to stop on the way to work and put gas in the car, I guess that's what I get for letting the wife drive my car yesterday. I put gas in hers. I don't mind, she's not used to getting up really early and was pretty worn out from it and I'd rather her get home safely.

My coffee is warm and tasty this morning, so my day is off to a good start. I hope y'all have a great day!

Out of simple curiosity, as someone from TN, if it's sunny out, would you play in 40*? Feel like as a northerner I'm on the fringe

Up at my regular 5am time.  We got a rain storm last night (lasted about an hour), and now as usual the wind comes and drys it out.  Also cooler at 43º and high will one get to 55º; chilly with a breeze at 15-30mph.  

Since next week is my wife's Rotary charity golf tournament at Canyon Lakes GC, I thought it would be a good idea to play this week to get use to the course again.  It has big slopey greens that are generally faster than ours, so it will be a challenge.  Wouldn't you know that today is the coolest, windiest day this week.  But it's Senior Tuesday so we get the round at only $50 with a cart.  I hope I break 90.

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”

We play here in NW Pennsylvania regardless - sometimes it even snows on us.  As long as the ground isn't covered anyway.  Tough to find your ball in the snow!!

Good morning, Spies. Temperature drop and rain mean no golf, outdoors. Will hit the indoor golf dome this afternoon. Morning cup number down, the second one is on tap. Spring blooming has taken hold.

Good Tuesday morning all,

Well we are back in NW Pennsylvania after 3 months of playing almost daily in Pawleys Island SC.   Our course is open - NOT playing today though!  It's snowing and 33°.

Best of luck to those who are fortunate enough to play today!

Stay warm!!!

 

Curious for the Northern Spies - what is the absolute coldest you've played in?  As a Southerner, I have respect for those that can brave the elements!

We play into the 30s as long as the ground isn't covered in snow. It's tough to find your ball then!!  Prefer it to in the 40s at least.  You just wear multiple layers.  Coffee with a little Kahlua in it helps too!

GM Y'all!!!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Went to the range yesterday and apparently removed my head from some orifice and was hitting the ball SO much better (pics to follow later in the what/how did you practice thread). It's amazing what happens when you swing the club correctly!!!!!! Wishing I could be out playing today- but.......... Hope that those who are playing have a great round w no lost souls and lots of birdies and eagles (no bogies or worse.....) the rest of us will take care of the other stuff and save the world yet again!!!!!!!🙃

I've played in single digit temps with snow on the ground (light, dry powder).  At a 9-hole exec course we would shovel the greens on #1, 2, 4, 7, 8, and 9 and reroute the course.  Play six holes and then sit in the clubhouse by the fire and drink... rinse and repeat for 18 holes.  Yes, we had carts but no covers or heaters!!

Morning fellow spies.  Looks like a beautiful but windy day for league play tonight.  Temps in the 70s with 15-20MPH winds with gusts in the 30s.  

On the Tuesday if my Mon-thurs  repetition;

  1. get up
  2. go to work
  3. Golf Options:  Most wanted testing at MGS or league night.
  4. go to bed

Pretty boring life 🥱

Top o' the morning, MGS.

Discussion in the random thread about traveling got me thinking I've only played in NJ and FL. That means 48 to go, so I have a lot of "work" to do.

Today I take the plunge across the NJ/PA border, about 65 miles west, to Melrose Country Club north of Philadelphia.

Our course won't let the carts out when there's snow on the ground - but walking keeps you warmer!  Just gotta remember the wool socks!

At the exec course I played, there were no rules (for most anything); the pro even played with us.  Yes, walking keeps you warmer, but when it's that cold there is a tradeoff to consider.  Everyone in their own cart will play faster than walkers, so we get to the warm clubhouse sooner for that drink!!  

I always wear wool socks... even in summer when it's 110º+.  Kentwool is the only sock I have worn for the past 12 years.
