Back in Maryland we usually stopped golfing in late October or early November, most times it snowed on Thanksgiving. I remember my last year, I moved here in June 2011 and that year, the day after New Year's January 2, 2011 I played golf. When I got to the course it was biggest crowd I had ever seen, bigger than in the summer. The parking lot was packed and the golf pro was running around like a chicken. It was suppose to 50 today in the Baltimore area.

When I got to the pro shop the pro was collecting money, then ten minutes later I was my car putting my shoes on and the pro drove up in a cart and said, this is your cart, your group is on the tee, I couldn't believe I was going off so quick. He was doing everything himself at golf course that day. I guess normally they have only a few golfers and he runs the whole show, this day there was a big wait, so being a single really paid off. My usual golfing partner didn't want to play.

I looked back at the weather that day when I teed off and we thought it was balmy.
