    How cold is it today

    Well, its official. The wife and I are both nuts !!!
    We went and played and froze our balls ( golf balls as JVincent would say)
    I think this is the coldest I have played in a few years. On a positive note, no flies.
    Hope tomorrow gets warmer as we are heading to the Falcon again.

    I played with Paul on Good Friday at Stonebridge and it was -8 windchill at tee time that morning.
    Obviously you're not a golfer.

    my 'gang' postponed our Spring Open / weekend golf trip based on the forecast from earlier in the week. When that wind hit me this morning - I knew it was a good call (but it better be sunny and warm next Weekend !)

    I was on the range today with one other guy. I had to stop every once in a while to get out of the wind and warm up my hands.

    Yep, game has been bad so far this year, until yesterday, hit every fairway except one, hit 14 out of 18 greens and the putter was solid. Could have been better though, I had 6 putts for bird within 6 feet and only made 1!

    The brass monkey called. He wants his balls back.
    When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

    Today wasn't too bad in terms of being cold, but the wind is killer, especially on an open course like Kanata Lakes where it makes the holes a ton longer. When we get some nice conditions, it's going to make this game SO much easier.

    Ahhaha, i know buddy! No worries! I wouldn't not have played two days in a row in the cold anyways. Instead I froze my @ss off washing the truck, the suv and the golf cart and got things done around the house for the Open House tomorrow!

    We will set it up soon!

    I hear ya, At outaouais on friday I was bombing crazy drives on some holes and then on the next one I was barely getting the driver 200 yds, the wind was 2-3 clubs strong all the time!

    Yeah i flew out at 11:00 once our car was back, the wind was pretty painful at times on that open course, number 4 felt like it was playing 700 yards.
