Niners Sept 24th, 09

Before the wind starts blowing the leaves

And before we need our winter outfits

But, the weather is lovely and the sun is out!

BMLGA PLAYDAY IN THE COLD! SEPT 29TH.

I was too chicken to play this morning. It was right around 40* on our porch and there was lots of cold wind blowing. I received an E-Mail from Karen Levine, our Vice-President, this evening with this picture. These 18 holers are tough! This is September 29th. I checked Ray's Weather Site. It was 36.6 at Fred's at 7:13 A.M. and the low wind chill temp at Fred's at 8:31 was 26.2. Golf anyone?
