A little job for me

Check out http://www.rochestergolflinks.com/

As a guest of the site I have added my personal thoughts on a couple of courses on this site.

Recently, the webmaster has asked me to provide him with a review/preview of Wayne Hills CC for the official description on the site. He said that he has played there but not for many years. I get to provide insight to the course for billions of people to read (ok, well thousands any way). It should be fun. I will probably do it by the end of next week.

I had always been told that Wayne Hills was one of the best around and now that I have played it a few times, I have to agree. It is well worth the trip an hour to the east of Rochester.

The annual saddest day of the year

Well, its official, my clubs are no longer in the trunk of my car. I took them out this morning before I left for work. The fact that it was about 20 degrees outside and snowing may have had something to do with it.

I tried to hold out a bit longer, but it looks like that sad day, the day the clubs are bannished to the basement, is finally here. I guess it is for the best. My game seemed to have gone south the last 3 rounds anyway. There are times when I actually could use a break. Not very often but there are times...

is it time to give in?

Well, as I looked in my car's trunk yesterday and knew that it was going to snow today, I thought, "should I take my clubs out yet?". It does not look like I am going to get out to play any time too soon. Hell, its almost X-mas. Is this a sad thing or a good thing? The last three rounds (see "road trips and golf outings") were pretty much a waste of time and energy.

Can I get out one more time to redeem myself? Will the ball crack in half from the cold? How bad will it sting if I skull a shot and the vibrations race up my arms? Wool hat or golf hat? Is it time to store the clubs if you have to wear long undies to stay warm on the course? If a water hazard is frozen and it is solid enough to support my weight, can I ground my club if I choose to hit it off of the ice? And what about Naomi?

I probably ought to take the clubs out and put them in the house. The cold probably is not very good for them.

......The clubs are still in the trunk at 4PM on 12/6/04.
