It's nice enough here in Northern Ontario to play golf today too!!!!! That is if you can find the course under the four feet of snow....

Honestly Jeff, I don't know how a golfer can exist in that kind of climate!! It's MAY for heaven's sake!!!! By the time you stop getting snow, it's going to be too hot to be out on the course after noon ... well, you have my total sympathy (but I sure don't understand why you put up with it when there are better climates in the country).

Jeff, you might have to share it with our daughter and her hubby occasionally, not to mention our eBay cra.. (oops, swell merchandise) but, it's there and we guarantee clean sheets once a month whether you need them or not! AND ... golfing weather year-round!

Glenda

PS -- Our rates are reasonable! Help correcting a slice will probably do it!!

Bad weather in North Bay. We hit 30C on Friday and were at 29C Thursday. It has been unbearably hot here in Ottawa with tons of sunshine.

Today is another glorius sunshiny day with a high of 25C.

Great day for me to finish getting my sailboat ready before she gets put into the water this coming Wednesday.

You guys can enjoy your golf but there is nothing greater than listening to the sails on your boat with a cool one in your hand and the sun shining on your brow.

Actually the weather was good here Wednesday and Thursday as well.... Friday was a little cooler, but then come Saturday, which is my bread and butter day this time of year, we had to put up with cooler and wetter weather.

Sun is shining today and it is pleasant, but the weather is really fickle and lacks any sense of consistency.

When the weatherman starts predicting rain and cold on Wednesday for the week-end it kills me.... (I hate weatherman).

A slice I can fix..... 2 inches of rain, now that is another matter (that is how much rain we had last night...)

I think I will search Ebay for an ark.....

Boy, we could use some of that rain on Vancouver Island - and all of BC for that matter! (Does that sound ridiculous coming from the west coast rain forest climate?) They're warning us we could have another summer of forest fires if we don't get more rain soon -- I didn't think there was much left to burn, but ....

We drove through the Louis Creek/McClure fire area this spring on our way home from the Alberta shows and saw some of the aftermath of last summer's fires -- a really shocking sight but it's good to see the rebuilding that's going on. I just hope some of the businesses rebuild as well.

Jeff, I'll be hoping for better golf weather for you but if you don't get it soon, well .... one of us has a slice that needs fixing! 😞

Glenda,

I hope you get rain too.... the forest fire situation through the West Coast was awful last year and although I only experienced it via TV and media, I can only imagine the havoc it brought to all in and near its path....

However to all residents of BC and elsewhere, should Mother Nature not provide you with the rain you need, feel free to bring your buckets, jugs, or just feel free to fill your pockets with ours as we have water everywhere.

........... and we've got more sun and dry in our forecast! Our favorite course is already watering regularly (read daily) and we compete for early morning tee times so that we're finished before it gets too hot! There just ain't no justice!!

Today we had to convice a pair of Canada Geese that our ball wasn't one of their eggs that hadn't hatched yet! They're very protective of their goslings and when a ball goes near them, we have to approach it in pairs so that one of us can fend off the geese while the other whacks the ball!! Ain't wildlife great?

A good goose is a cooked goose..... Nice looking birds, but they crap all over the place..... I hate them.

Jeff, I don't even like them cooked! I'm not sure how this pair evaded our groundskeepers long enough to hatch their brood but they're the only geese on the course this year. Between their dog and the tractors, they've kept the geese on the run and the course is much better for it!

There's one very nice local course that we just won't play because they've let the geese have the run of the place. I don't want to have to wash crap off my clubs, my cart, and my shoes after every round!

Wotthe'ell Jeff! Mushrooms probably even like goose crap!! (but I bet they wobble when you try to putt with 'em and I'll be dam*ed if I'll buy winter gloves from a mushroom farmer ...)

Hi ospreylinks

Do you (or anybody else) know where could I get boxes to fit Golf Clubs (Single clubs, mainly drivers). I got my hands on a few drivers that I will be selling, but I have not been able to find boxes (except for golfsmith at $17.99 for 6)

Thanks in advance !

Mirakbiz, sorry I don't. We save our club boxes and re-use them to ship if sold on-line.

I use to have a few hundred of them kicking around that we probably could have spared a few, but unfortunately my supply is pretty small right now and I am hording what I have.....

In terms of buying them, again I never have so I don't even know a source.

Sorry

Jeff
