I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving Holiday. The Nurse and I spent the last ten days in Florida with the family. To be more specific we spent a week at Disneyland in Orlando. Four days of theme parks was a lot of fun with the grand kids, but one of the most tiring times I've spent in recent history. The place was wall to wall people. And, in my estimation 30% of them spoke Spanish or some other foreign language. I can't even begin to count the times I was almost run over by a stroller or mobility scooter. Why anyone wants to try to navigate a stroller through those crowds is beyond me. Besides anyone that young won't remember much of the experience. That's the primary reason we waited until now to take the grand kids. Plus, I don't see how the average family can afford to go there for any length of time. That place is like Vegas without the gambling. It can eat $50.00 bills in an instant. Oh well you can't take it with you.
The weather there was good but not great. One day we wore sweaters all day and were still chilled. But, no rain. The trip down and back was uneventful. I75 is almost 3 lanes all the way. The only real problem was hitting Atlanta on Friday before the holiday week at the middle of rush hour. UGH!! Thank God for the HOV lane. And why doesn't Florida use Easypass? Enough about the trip. Gas prices were all over the map; $3.09 to $3.49. I think we filled up 6 times.
I wonder what the GWH will do now that the USGA is going to ban anchoring? For that matter what are a lot of people going to do? That bring up a lot of interesting discussions in Golf Committees because of handicap issues if clubs decide to ignore the rule change. More on that later.
The weather looks to be pretty good over the next few days. Hope to get some late season golf in.
