When????

We are fast approaching the beginning of March and the first day of Spring.  The PGA Tour is starting it's Florida swing this week.  People are starting to ask when we will be able to tee it up for the first time.  That's a good question.  Consider this:

1. It's still colder than $#@&^ (but could turn on a dime.)
2. The frost is down about 30 inches and the ground won't thaw any time soon.
3.  It gets really mushy when it starts to thaw which is usually accompanied by rain.
4.  The wind starts to pick up in March and blows in from the lake to make it really seem colder.

So the answer is probably not anytime soon.  My guess is that we'll be lucky if we get a round in before the 1st of April.  For years I always planned on Good Friday as the first day to play and I think that's a good bet this year.

I did talk with Eric yesterday and he thinks the course will make it through without much damage.  The Snow cover is really a good thing and tends to protect the turf versus last year when we had all that ice which created real problems. 

Think golf.

PS  Heard a rumor that ABE (remember him) got beat like a cheap drum on the golf course by his wife recently in Las Vegas.  What is the world coming to?
