It's snowing outside, time to get out of here!

Posted 10-27-2020 at 09:47 AM by onebuck

Hi,

Just snow flurries but it is dropping temperature fast. Time to head south for the winter. Leaving tomorrow morning at 04:00 and driving straight thru. Should be home in Florida by late Wednesday night, about 17 hour drive. My wife said she would drive 5-6 hours at the start. So I will finish the trip. She sets speed at 80-85 mph, a little fast for me but she's driving and I will bite my tongue. She should make it to Tennessee before I take over. she doesn't like to drive the mountains....

Back to Illinois and it sucks big time.

Hi,

I've been back 7 weeks and the Governor dictator here in Illinois is power hungry. We were allowed to eat out this past week but under a tent.

My golf here has been limited and I am now getting used too grass under the ball. In Florida there is no real grass in the fairways and it does take some time for me to adjust picking the ball without blading it.

It's getting to where I may just make Florida my permanent residency with the way this states political...

My days are limited in Florida

Hi,

It has been nice here in Florida until this damn covid-19 shutdown. Social distancing and stay in place sucks but I do not need to get that damn bug.

We can still play golf since our course has been closed to the public. We use our own golf carts. We no longer play outside courses since those have been closed to the public. It's been real hot the last few days so we start early to beat the heat.

We plan to leave on 4-25 early Saturday morning and drive...

Florida vs Illinois winter

Posted 11-03-2019 at 07:50 AM by onebuck

Hi,

I made it back to Florida. Missed the first snow back in Illinois by one day. First week here was in the 90's and now it has settled back a bit to the mid 70's and high 80. Love the warmth!

First thing back, I had to replace my five year old Golf cart batteries set (4 x 12VDC). Trojan T-1275 at $153/ea plus 96 pounds each. I would have the install done but earliest time to get on schedule was Nov 19, 2019. I need my cart for more than just Golf. We use it to transport...

Florida visit slowly coming to an end.

Hi,

It has been nice in the land of the sun. Playing golf in the middle of Midwest winters is a big plus. My game has shown some improvement on the short grass here. Midwest grass is a lot easier to hit off of than the Bermuda that is cut short here in Florida.

With all my physical limits it has been a work in progress. Since I have in the past 5 spinal surgeries that do require me to use a modified single plane swing so a I can control the club head and speed. My handicap...
