Too Cold For Most

Saturday was one of those days that seemed OK until you got to the second hole. Then the temperature seemed to drop and it only got worse. By the 8Th hole we looked at each other and decided to call it a day at 9. All that being said I still managed to win some loose change thanks to my partner, Mike M (of real estate fame). Saw some other players out there. One was even in shorts and he said he wasn't cold even though his legs were blue. TTS was playing but he had 3 of them plus a wind shirt. I also learned TTS has another name he is known by with his family. I've been sworn to secrecy so I can't say what it is. If you buy St. Gwen a drink I'm pretty sure she will spill the secret.

The answers to the rules questions: The area the tree covers is ground under repair. So you all know what to do under those situations. Now the snow in the bunker is a little more interesting. Snow could either be a loose impediment or casual water in the bunker. The casual water treatment is a lot more favorable. If you don't how to employ the rule look at Rule 25-1b.

Speaking of rules did you see the playoff at the Verizon Heritage and the rules infraction Brian Davis called upon himself? The rules can really be arcane and I believe that one needs to be changed.

Situation - LLB was playing ahead of us and hit one of his famous drives. Whereupon Fred S used one of his famous lines about handing out bananas. LLB ate the fruit and left the peel on the fairway. Tim G, who is equally long, hit his drive to the same area. Unfortunately it came to rest against the peel that was left on the fairway. What's the rule? If you get this right you get an apple at the turn.

See ya Tuesday. The weather looks to be getting better.
