I drove into work this morning and the weather was almost surreal. Zipping around (I’m late as usual) town has me encountering some very golf like phenomena. It was cool enough to have some ground fog and a slight haze. I felt like I was in some video clip from a golf vacation package. You know, the one where there is a lonely golfer out on the links early walking the fog covered course with some rays of sunshine growing with each hole.

Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating a little. But, it’s only because I’m itching to get on the course. Here in the Great Lakes area, we’ve actually had some decent weather to start the month of March. One of the nice public courses in town just opened up and everyone is jumping to get on the golf course. They’re out there practicing everything from putting to their golf swing takeaway.

I get hooked on the Golf Channel after the holidays.
