Course Conditions - the big melt

Just got back from the golf course - the big melt continues! We still have pockets of snow, lots of puddles, and ice still in the cups (yes I did try to plant the flagsticks, to no avail). We will open for play tomorrow though I expect conditions will be very wet and sloppy and carts on paths only. Nonetheless, sunshine and temperatures in the fifties is expected and that is golf weather.

Diane and I had breakfast at The Cabin with Jim and Wilma Bateman. Among a host of topics, we did talk briefly about the new Lakeview Community League and different possibilities for that league. At this early stage in its formulation, the team configurations will be in one of several categories: relational (parent/grandparent with child/grandchild); couple; female/female; and male/male. Play during the season (probably mid May to the end of August) will be anytime during the week, something which gives participants plenty of latitude. These are early thoughts and ideas, all of which will be firmed up in the next couple of weeks. So look for the grand announcement of the forthcoming Lakeview Community League.

Note: We have for rent a Datrek Hard Case Travel Cover at the clubhouse. I purchased it just before Diane and I went to Palm Springs for a week with our daughter Danielle and her family in January. The hard cover is the taller variety, 68 or 69 inches, and easily accommodates the newer longer drivers.

Did you know that on this date in... 1977 - Judy Rankin wins the Orange Blossom Classic by five strokes over Joyce Kazmierski. (from golfonline). I think Judy is one of the best golf announcers in the business. Anybody know what she is doing now? Anybody find out the answer to yesterday's question, the one about Phil and TW?
