Whew!....18 holes.....nothing open around here.

If the MET is correct, a little rain Sun+Mon and then drying out decently for at least a few days......at least up my way.

In no particular order (or intelligence on my part..... 1. Knaresborough (my first club)-20 min drive- perfectly decent course. Nothing outstanding or bad. I wish the greens were a little tougher though. *Clubhouse is ok but no real good views of the course. *Big bonus for me is the large...

I've never been to a range with either, why the difference?

I'm really an odd ball of a golfer. I've been a member at 3 local courses (Oakdale, Ripon, Knaresborough), each has a noticeably different feel. Even though I've been back in the area for over 10 years I've still not played quite a few of the local courses, Wetherby, Harrogate, Rudding, Pannal...

School Spirits. Could have been a silly teenage whatever.....but just getting towards the end of the first series and my wife and I are both enjoying it. Paramount.

I'm starting to think hip...

It's like watching golf to me. More fun to play it than watch it. I actually just got off the illiptical in the garage while watching GB lose to Italy. It's not bad in small doses.

I'm a Washington boy, so I had to root for the Seahawks.

It's golf....it's make-believe land. I think I'm about to play scratch golf any minute now......just have to believe!!!
