Golfing with geezers

With another Sunday in the 40's it was time to make obeisance to the golf gods for perhaps the last time this year.  My friend and I went to one of the local courses expecting to be among a few hardy souls, but to our surprise, a golf tournament was in the process of being organized.  There were about 30 hardy golfers, mostly in their late 60s and early 70s ready to go, so we joined the fun.  Dressing for late fall golf is about the same as any cold weather outdoor activity.  Several layers of clothing, but loose enough to allow full movement.  The weather was cloudy and although it stayed in the low 40s, the northeast breeze was damp and chilly. Making a birdie on a difficult par 3 was the highlight in an otherwise forgettable round.   The weather forecast for next weekend is predicting warmer temps after a midweek cold snap, so it's possible the garden and the golf course will remain open for business next weekend.  So it goes.
