Just a thought about the forecast

Frigid temperatures cancelled golf for this Sunday. 36 degrees and frost made conditions unplayable and unbearable. I hope we get a few more rounds in this year. I want to thank everyone who played and helped get tee times. I am awarding everyone the Nobel Peace Prize. We will try again next Sunday. We have 3 tee times starting at 9:30 am and there are plenty of openings. Let me know if you want to play.
