Minnesota wrx's?

[linkerpan]

Just played 36 at TCI. Payed $45 plus $35 for replay. For that price, great value, great value. Greens were perfect to my surprise. I was told they had to close earlier last year to fix the greens, and it payed. They were running at 10.5. The course itself was still draining after lot of rain last 2 days.
I would recommend 36 because that course in particular has many hidden crevasses, holes, blind creeks, etc., so it rewards course knowledge.

Glad to hear it. The greens were better then anything we played a few weeks ago too.... Green and actually mowed.

[simple36]

Well 6-10 inches expected tonight...

[Joe85]

Twins front office must feel like they're in the Twilight Zone this first month or so of the season. 4-10" here in the Metro expected is just.........TOO MUCH. Just...too...much.

I'd like to say in a week from now we'll be able to play on slop-mud courses somewhere in the Metro, but I am too much of a pessimist.

[/quote]Actually, just a couple out of AL Central first ATM. 8-7. Definitely a better team this over last year by leaps and bounds.

Just give them time, they will get back to their old losing ways.

Two tee times booked for this weekend at Northfork. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning!!

[wetdogsmell]

Is NorthFork opening up this weekend? I'm looking for open courses based on this page: [url="http://twincitiesgolf.com/golf-courses-open-in-minnesota/"]http://twincitiesgolf.com/golf-courses-open-in-minnesota/[/url]

They haven't officially said it yet, but I'm guessing the decision will come through this morning. They let members grab some tee times earlier this week based off the forecast and made sure we knew it was weather permitting. With it sunny and getting warmer every day through the weekend I'm pretty sure they will open. No word on carts/walking yet though.

[wetdogsmell]

Excellent! I'll keep my eyes open. I was hoping to start the year at either Territory, Elk River, Pebble or Northfork. Right now i'm planning on heading down to Greenhaven unless something closer opens.

Thanks for the info!

[Gripit_Swiftit]

36 planned for Saturday and Sunday. Not counting on Saturday but by Sunday it looks promising.

The Wilds on Sunday should be fun.

Just played there today. Course was surprisingly in good shape considering that we just had snow less than a week ago.

Still room for a couple more guys on May 18th...

[Joe85]

Snow again tonight, May 1. Record low temps as well...

[whysguy]

Record low temps and snow in May.

Wife and son really pushing to move to San Diego.
And I am resisting, why?

[Gripit_Swiftit]

Am I hearing correctly that 8-12 inches is possible?

Can I move to San Diego with your wife and kid Whysguy? I mean, you have to pay for everything of course including my golf but I am willing to sacrifice.....

[Joe85]

While SD has the most perfect weather in the U.S. and perhaps the world, I'd not want to live there.

[Joe85]

Well fellas we got hit, but only some of us. We in the Metro skipped by; courses were open in St. Paul today. May be getting out tomorrow to try about 6 sets of irons and a couple dozen of drivers, putters and wedges, lol.

[ladahl]

I got SLAMMED!!!!!!!

[whysguy]

Maybe we ought to move the Jewel gathering back?

And I am actually flying SD this weekend for an interview on Monday.
Theres a real possibility we are outta here.
And Joe, not sure how much time you've spent in San Diego, but my sister in-law lives in Cardiff By The Sea, just north of Torrey and it is spectacular.
I've been in MN for most of 50 yrs, yeah, I could do with visiting winter, rather than surviving it.

[/quote]Cali homes are getting wiped out by firestorms right now (which seems to happen quite regularly) and Nevada and AZ both have similar issues. Not to mention people were locked [b]IN [/b]their houses for a couple months in AZ it was so scorchingly hot, like...last year(?).

So really it's all relative. We only had a few months last year we really couldn't golf, and some us could get to friends in Colorado or further for some golf. Not to mention I like cold weather (healthier - keeps crime down as well, which has been proven factually) and I've played hockey my whole life and I like cross country so I get out a bit. The real problem I have is the mud (salt) which seems to wreak havoc on my cars even though I maintain them religiously and maybe a month where you really just don't want to be out it's so cold.

Spring time in MN is like no place in America we're so pumped which is probably why we have more boaters per capita and I believe our state is in the top in the country for golfers as well. So again, it's all relative.

[iStank]

I'd be all for you guys moving the jewel trip back. I can't make it on the 17th but would love to meet some fun guys to play with.

[ladahl]

We're gonna stay true to anyone who can come May 18th...

Hopefully we still get a decent turnout

GO WILD!

[linkerpan]

Hopefully all goes ok on the 18th and more events can be scheduled. I am now in Brainerd, and is funny seeing how the golf bug is biting Mn people. In a day with freezing drizzle, just because will be better (playable) than other places from Mn, the courses are packed! It doesn't matter the feeling will be mid 30s.
