'Snowed off'

[pingpal]

Had a game with me father in law set up for Saturday at Ballater. Blizzarding yesterday and today there is a white blanket across the course and the mercury is reading a balmy 1 degree C.
No summer and now this! Haven't swung a club in 3 weeks and am suffering the DT's - I just have to tonk a few drives away this weekend.
I dont have any orange golf balls. What should I do?
Pray for a thaw or go and wax the skis?

Saw the footie at Aberdeen last night complete with blizzard conditions. Waxing the skis appears to be the sensible choice.

Seen the weather for the East coast of England! Whats worse a flooded course or one covered in snow!
Indeed Golfer2112 Waxing the water skies could be a sensible option for both the northerners and the east coast people on this forum.

Woke up this morning to a wee dusting off snow, looks like it will be rain for the NE this weekend.

I really do love global warming! Balltic last night out on range.

I could hardly swing the club at the range last night. To make things worse I dropped my bloody hot water bottle and it burst. And the wife says I am crazy playing golf in this weather.

I've heard it all now - do they re-fill it for you at the range when it's gone cold?

I have to use the KLIX machine for hot water. £4 for 50 balls for my wee girl is scandelous but £3.50 in hot water from the machine is value for money.

Spent the weekend decorating, no golf -too baltic - Sad!

Beautiful day for golf here in Glasgow today. Shame I was at my niece's birthday party dispensing crisps, chocolate and operating the Cd player during the highly competitive Musical Statues section of the event. Still, I did manage to snaffle a tube of fruit pastilles to scoff during the proceedings which meant it wasn't entirely a lost cause.
