i have a couple of buddies of like mind who are willing to play as long as it is possible to find the golf ball. played on saturday --37 F high temp with mild winds. i shot four over and got bested. i actually enjoy the challenge. the difference in distance allows for some creative shotmaking. on saturday i had to crush a three wood for a second shot to make the green on a hole which usually requires an 8 iron. my advise- leave the ego at home, revel in the good shots and blame the bad ones on the weather.--tom
