OK, so maybe you noticed the frost this morning or the fact that at 8:30 the temperature was still below freezing. Many of you rationally decided it was time to put the sticks away for the year. I’ll miss you.

If you’ve been reading this blog all year you might get the impression that my wife hates golf. That’s really only half true. She likes to golf but has no use for golf. Come to think of it, she only likes it when she’s actually on the golf course. She doesn’t lose sleep the night before she plays because she’s so excited (guilty) and she doesn’t talk about it afterwards (guilty again). It’s possible that her life is simply more fulfilling than mine and that, for her, golf is simply a pleasant and occasional diversion. It’s also possible that I’m very sick.
