Sunset over the Gulf of Mexico at Treasure Island, FL
Hold the cherry blossoms in DC and hold the azaleas in Augusta! One of those god awful nor’easter things is bearing down on the DMV today and will be dropping a foot of the fluffy stuff.
After getting out and playing in January and February in one of the most delightful winters on record (zero snowfall), my luck has finally run out. Last month, I was fortunate enough to practice on five separate occasions and had made progress on my swing changes, but it’s really cold now and the season is on hold. Yesterday, in some misguided sense of idiocy, I decided to hit balls in the wind with temperatures in the mid 30s, and didn’t do my game any favors, so maybe it is time for a break.
Actually, I’m very thankful that I got to play at all, and that I got back to town safely on Saturday before the airlines began cancelling flights. So while you sit by the fire and wait with me for the courses to clear, enjoy a couple pics from sunny Florida.
Play well!

Your snow will be gone in a few days. Hang in there. Just so you know, it was minus 32 Celsius this morning….coldest day of the year for us. I am happy you were able to swing your clubs over the winter – always a good feeling when spring actually arrives.
Cheers

Jim, this is the perfect excuse to sit inside and do my taxes. How’s that for making lemonade out of a lemon 🙂

Haha, perfect! 👍
