We set another new record for winter golf - Since the real golf season ended around the third week of November our group has been heading out to Burlington Springs, located about 15 minutes from Hamilton, Burlington and Oakville.

Winter golf. What can I say?

For the first time since dinosaurs were roaming our land, golfers all across eastern Canada and the U.S. are taking advantage of the unusual opportunity to play golf in the middle of winter. This is pretty rare in Ontario, but, hey! with no snow on the ground, and temperatures hovering around 10 celsius, rare is a good thing.

It rained hard for about 15 minutes. Now that's golf!

Every weekend is a new record for our group. Last Saturday (January 6/07) it was raining lightly with the temperature hovering between 6 and 8 degrees -- well above the usual TT (tolerability threshold) for hard core Ontario golfers. The course was booked solid all day, as it has been most weekends since November.

I forced myself to take out the camera and shoot a few pics -- just to prove we actually did it.
