According to the radar, it's snowing here in Dodge.......but if it is, I can't see it. (Go ahead, say it. You know you want to.)
@Cyclones_R_GR8 , I would highly advise taking up golf. It's relaxing....I always mix up a big Thermos of vodka and tonic to take along. Helps me relax. 
I would say it isn't cold enough to stick
I was never one to drink when golfing. There were a couple of guys here in Omaha that if I golfed with I would end up drinking as those two drank like crazy.@Cyclones_R_GR8 , I would highly advise taking up golf.

I rarely golf although I have debated getting into it more. When I do though I enjoy a drink or two but rarely have time to drink as there is barely enough time between my shots to drink.

Thanks.
In the academic world, this just crosses another school off the potential list. When you adjunct somewhere, there's barely over a 0% chance that it opens the door there, and I won't be meeting anyone along the way. Just a mercenary going in, teaching a night class, and going home.
It's a pretty bad system. Everyone involved knows it, but it's not changing.
I quit a few years back. Sorta lost my local golfing buddies and didn't like diving a million miles to where the work league played. Plus rotator cuff was making it problematic. Cuff is rehabbed enough that I can probably swing clubs and been thinking of at least trying the short 9-hole executive course that's only four miles away. Nice municipal course and it won't eat up half a day like playing 18 somewhere. Maybe the old ladies will let me walk a round with them since I cut my hair and look less like a homeless guy now.
I knew a guy and his dad that had lifetime memberships at State Center. I used to play with them quite a bit. If his dad wasn't there we would play like 36 holes.
When I used to golf (VERY infrequently) I noticed that my terrible game improved modestly when I got a couple of drinks in me - then if I ventured a couple of sips more past the sweet spot it quickly dropped off the cliff. I suppose relaxed is a good thing but too relaxed is another story.
The Iowa footall recruiting thrad has 2M views, but we cant get above 15k posts......
We usually go with my in-laws once or twice a year. I currently just have a hand-me-down set of clubs but have debated taking them into Play-It-Again Sports to get a more updated better sized set for myself just to have.
Mine approaches antique status. Anymore sets have "drivers" but mine has honest to god "woods". I have added a metal 1, 3 and 7 "wood". I loved that 7 for getting out of jams in the rough - which happened a lot.
My grandma's old set was like that and I used to use those but I think we ended up putting those in the estate sale.
Will give a plug for NOrth Iowa golf in Mason City. Had a couple of my wife’s clubs regripped and saw they had nice set of used Ping irons for 175-250. Solid set of you find a driver a rescue and lower wood
I'm not a golfer but that was how I played pool at the bars. I started out decent but not great, get better and start hitting some really good shots after hitting my sweet spot of inebriation and then get worse than I started as I kept drinking.

Now that I think about it I was the same way with darts. It just took more beer to hit the wall with darts.
