Odd weather

So while I was suffering from Cold - weather / snow induced golf withdrawal, I decided to go hit a bucket of golf balls at the driving range this afternoon. The weather wasn't too bad when I got there, cloudy and about 40-45 degrees. So I went inside and bought a bucket of balls, and I walk out of the golf shop, and it's suddenly snowing...quite hard. What the ?
So I hit the bucket anyway, and right as I finished, that's right, the snow stopped.

Atleast you aren't getting sun-burned though.

Haha BDR you're making me feel real good lol. I can honestly say I haven't been actually sun - burned in a long time, I just don't seem to burn, it's actually quite nice. Maybe I don't burn because There's No Sun! lol

"time to mouth south"?

I've heard that Texans are the "mouth of the South" and I know that Southerners have a bit of a drawl, but if I moved down there, would I really have to "mouth south" too?

Hey, if I could play golf year round, I'd talk any way you want me to.

Your lucky you can go to your driving range and hit a bucket of balls. My local course has about a foot to a foot and a half of snow on it.

Here's some more "terrible wind" for ya!
I'm still looking at 3-4 inches of snow, lots of ice, and 30 degree temps!

I'm the hardy type and I'll be out as soon as the snow melts enough for a course to open. I'm sure that will be within the next two weeks sometime.

If that doesn't put the "jinx" on us Michiganders nothing will, but I'm past caring!

Over here, I'm just hoping to play before May! Actually, the snow typically doesn't last past the 1st of April, and I expect that it will warm up here soon and the snow will melt off.

I'll be out there within the next 2 weeks hopefully. The temps are gradually rising, but there's still a lot of snow everywhere. I can't wait to try out the new sticks. So far I've just been putting with the Odyssey 2-ball in my basement and it feels great.
