Hi golfing eagle: Next to losing a free day of golf because of cold weather the other annoyance for me is paying good money to golf and then playing poorly.....which is often I love golf I just wish it love me back.

Stay warm and I guess we should have given our move more thought and moved to Florida. spoke with my daughter who lives in Mount Kisco and while they received some snow not as bad as NYC, Washington ,etc Snow don't even like to see it on television anymore

Personal Best Regards

Me also. But I'm a fair-weather golfer - I only golf for the fresh air and sunshine. I'm totally inept and getting worse every year. Sigh.

I played Hibiscus/Jacaranda this morning; started at 7:28, finished at 10:20. With the mist early this morning, it was a little brisk.

Not really. I actually retired about 13 years ago at age 50; I took about a year off, played a bunch of golf and then went to work for ADT in sales for 5 years; took another year off, played a lot more golf and then got into golf at Golf Galaxy in metro STL 6 years ago; about 3 years ago, my wife transferred to KC and there's where I managed the 2 courses. There - my last 13 years of life history; I don't like sitting around.

Relax?!?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! My neighbors ask me when I'm going to start relaxing, I'm making the neighborhood men look bad. I tell them when I die I'll relax. When I'm not working the afternoons of Wednesday's, Thursday's and Sunday's, I'm working in my yard or golfing. My wife, on the other hand, when she retired after 34 yrs. as a LEO, she retired.

Back to the cold and golf. I felt like I owned the course today; I didn't see any others in the 18 holes I played.

That's truly amazing that people were playing Egret today and even backed up! I wore my down-filled jacked with a hood to the dog park. Somehow Florida cold seems colder than Canadian cold. Even I can tell that sounds loco.

I played 18 holes at Glenview yesterday, we had the course to ourselves, it wasn't that bad once you got going ........ Don't get me wrong I am looking forward to it being a bit warmer today as we are playing Lopez, looking at the weather forecast we will probably have that to ourselves!

I did not see I mentioned but you can go to Golf The Villages and look at Weather Events to see if there is a delay on the courses.

We had a frost delay on El Santiago and got 0 points because of the frost delay.

I wouldn't exactly say they were backed up. I have a pretty good view of everything on Egret from the 2nd tee to the 8th green, and only saw those two groups. I just found it funny that the 2nd group was being held up. The worst times to be standing waiting to hit is in bad weather, when it's getting dark, when you're playing real well, or when you're playing real bad! PS: Golf match offer still stands
