I hope to be playing Marty, Shadow Lake opens up here/there and I got an e-mail this week that Mill Creek is pretty much open weather permitting.

Terry Hills is always open as long as there's no snow on the ground. Arrowhead is opening this weekend and temps here will be in the high 50s by the end of next week. Wanna make a road trip?

Nice! It'll be good to see you. No Kev? Joe is the beer guy so I'll let him decide on that if he wants.
I can make a teetime at Terry Hills if everyone is good with that.

Not sure I can do 27. Gotta leave by 1pm on Sunday. I'll try to make the teetime a little earlier if that's OK.

Perfect
 
I need a few more weeks to continue getting strength back, after that I should be up for anything anywhere.
 
Fun round with the Martys from Montreal and @choppstixxx. Great seeing @MPlefty and meeting Marty #2. Thanks for making the road trip.
It was little cold and windy but we're used to it.
Safe travels home.

You carving your own Woods this year? Lol I plan on playing this week also. So ready for my first round.
 
I got and yesterday and walked 18. Felt great to be out there again even if it was a little chilly. Plan on going tomorrow and still trying to decide on what to do this weekend since its going to be so warm out. Either fight the crowd at the course or just get the kayak out and hit the water.
 
Yesterday about 345 golfers descended on the 27 holes at Western Turnpike and the 18 at Orchard Creek for the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York's Annual Golf Classic. There are now so many corporate teams that for the second year in a row there is no room for walk-ons like me. The Food Bank serves 44% of the land mass of the state of New York, including many of its poorest areas. Their cost for a pound of delivered food is like $0.12. With the entry fees, sponsorships, auctions, and raffles, this event alone will have raised over $100k again this year. Fortunately, I was able to get one of their favors - a really nice beer glass and a four-pack sampler of Druthers beers.

It's interesting to me that some of the biggest names in American business, names often linked to corporate greed and heartlessness, are among the biggest contributors to the Food Bank, year after year. And they insist on keeping their efforts quiet and out of the spotlight.
