Like any country we have various areas and climates. Yes Switzerland is known for the Alps, but that is only part of the country. I live about 20 minutes from the German border. It is cheaper in Germany for many things (dentist and some other things) so we often go there for that. 

France is only an hour away. Italy 4 hour drive? ... anyway where I live we get a good amount of rain and wet weather in winter, but the last two winters we had next to nothing. Still down in Montreaux it is like a micro climate and they are usually warmer, same with part of Lucerne. However if you go up the hills a bit you will get plenty of snow. 

Having spent 10 years in (Dusseldorf) Germany, one of the things I really miss are the quick trips to other countries. We were 2 hrs. away from Amsterdam, Brussels, etc. Oh and as to rain - this year, where we live in Florida, we're 20 inches behind (just) this year for rain.

Finally crawled home. Who knew that being an elderly professional curmudgeon could be so tiring? 
  Too tired to hit the course, going to beat the nursing home bunch to bed to day. Monday is a catch up day at the Dark Kingdom. Should be able to get rounds in on Tuesday and Wednesday, then head back to work. Will be hitting the course for the first time with all three “ Edison Enforcers “ in the bag. Weather should be rather good with lows in the mid-40’s and highs in the mid-70’s. 
  Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friends.

Geezch… It takes a minimum of 6 hours for me to get out of Texas to another state… Now to get to the Cartel Controlled Texas /Mexican border only about 4 hours.

Good morning MGSpies on a wet soggy overcast WNY Sunday morning in a peaceful house with hot porridge cooling and Lyle's Golden cane sugar syrup ready to turn it into candy. 

🥌 curling with the Veterans is the main event at noon with a trip to RIT and dinner with son before home in forecast rain, yay.  

Venues like TopGolf, indoor sims, etc @Dead Solid Bogey are a good way to build and extend the sport - what I would like to see (and maybe it is already there) is that those venues are secondary to the Main Event of going out on a golf course for the real challenge of hitting off grass, playing in variable conditions, and the exercise.  There are purists in every sport but the mainstream recognizes that more opportunities is always better as long as "new" does not equal "instead of."

Chuck @cksurfdude the notion of adverse weather pertains to all sports except for a few and cross country or long distance running are amongst the exceptions.  As a high school varsity cross country runner, I loved the bad weather.  In fact the worse the weather the more I liked it.  We did not have many supporters come out to our races including parents but once the varsity cheerleaders did show up to rally our spirits just before the race which was strikingly impracticable, but we were the only cross country team to have cheerleaders at a meet and that made them awesome!

Jamie @GolfSpy_APH if you have snow in your neck of the woods, we definitely need to see photos!

Warmer temps are a tease for thoughts about golf here.  Snow gone here, mostly gone in the snow belts south of here and sodden ground from 2 days of nearly constant rain, so even if a course was open everything would get plugged aka lost.  Hope golf is a part of your day! ⛳

AGREED… The operative phrase is “ in addition to “ and not “ instead of or replacement of “

I hear ya. But my wife teaches in a fairly affluent suburban neighborhood and .. sadly .. too many of the kids are being raised with expectations of privilege... Plus the mothers have them over-scheduled with extra curricular activities .. so this one was too easy to blow off........

(PS: cheerleaders are always awesome 😉)

I thought I did, but can't find it.  It must have gotten lost in the many moves I've made since 1971 when I had it.  I was injured in a volleyball comp and had cartilage removed from my left knee... didn't have scopes then so big incision.  Wore the brace for a long time; knee ached for years after that until I had it replaced in 2014.  They had to scope my right knee for torn meniscus before they did the replacement.  

That knee brace is one of the questions I have when I meet with the doc tomorrow morning.  I also want to talk about shots, and can I make it until next fall before replacement.  If they don't think it would be a good idea, I will opt for surgery after the Palm Springs trip in February.  Even if they could do the surgery in the near term, I don't think I would be fully recovered before our trip.  I also have to think about the 2024 MGS Meet-up; I'm thinking I want to be there this time.

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

Good morning MGSpies on an it couldn't be a more different and unpredictable Monday than I could imagine. Heading to NC to get what family support can be given for younger brother who's had a major medical event and needs someone to help my nephews get things sorted out with their father. Too soon for prognosis, will try to check in as I usually do but these are exceptional times and work must yield when such distance is involved.  Keeping it real though, I did throw the clubs in the vehicle because any opportunity, there's golf weather down there. On my way with several hours left in the journey. 

Hope golf is a part of your day ⛳

Safe travels… Thoughts and prayers for the entire family.

Good morning All, 

Mondays get a bad wrap. Rather than looking at today as the onset of another soul sapping grind of a week, I choose Monday to be the first day in a week of opportunities to improve myself and spread kindness. Also, you heard it here first: something big is coming. 

I will have to ponder this rather positive mature adult outlook. This “adulting” stuff is way more complicated than I was lead to believe.
