Late-Winter Golfer's Lament

Well, here it is, March 10, and I'm watching it snow from my office at the MGA. Thank goodness (at least for us here in the TC) the bulk of this storm seems to be passing to the north, leaving little white stuff on the ground. This is important so this weekend's expected 40* heatwave will continue to melt the piles of snow rather than new snow.

In previous writings, I have talked about watching golfers walking around beautifully green courses in short-sleeved shirts enjoying sunshine and warm breezes and living vicariously through the images. It seems many others are sharing my sentiments. In fact, just today Peter Smith, a commentator on KNOW 91.1 (Minnesota Public Radio) shared his feelings on being a Minnesota golfer anxiously awaiting another golf season. Check it out by clicking here.

We can all take heart that Tiger returns this weekend at Doral for the CA Championship. Combining the two - golf course and WGC event - usually means there's a Tiger on the loose. Let's hope for TV and those of us who care about golf that this comes true. Imagine the excitement of Tiger returning to Augusta already having won in his return from surgery.

I do know the season is coming. In today's world, that seems to be the only thing secure.

Until next time-

Doug
