I know it's cold outside and all - especially before 8 a.m., which is when I usually play - but I'm frankly surprised more people aren't playing in the winter. I won't say it's a "completely different game," but you'd be surprised as some of the shots you can take now, with the foliage down, that you'd never have contemplated when everything was in full bush. And the leaves on the ground can make for some interesting "slides and skips" on a lot of holes.
Y'all ought to try it. But if you're a pansy who just has no interest in manning up and dressing in layers, well, more for me, you know?

And by the way, if you're over near 15 and see downed branches, drag them over and throw them on that grown-up hill if it's not too much trouble. That way, when we finally talk the park into getting a burn permit for it, our bonfire will be already started.
Yes, yes, I know it'll grow back just as thick in a year or two. But just once I'd like to see that burned to the ground and start over. Shoot, maybe we can transfer some native plants into the ashes and actually make it something truly interesting and pretty rather than a snaky, yellowjackety summer disc graveyard. That big oak tree on the right (which doesn't need to be touched at all) provides more than enough challenge for those taking the "local shot" in from the wide high right side diving down into the hole.

Finally, are the pins just going to stay in the long position all winter, or will y'all be putting them back in the short after the Ice Bowl?
I don't guess it makes that much difference. Just curious.

Just got off the phone with the park about getting the pins changed back. Hopefully it will get done soon - John

They're back in the short, bro. Woot! And Woot! at the park folk when you talk to them next. We really are fortunate to have such a good park staff in Stephens County.
