Many golfers enjoy the fall golf season, up north in these parts. It’s not too hot to play, it’s not as crowded to play. The colors change and the courses and trees really bring some nice views to the course.

For the golfers who enjoy fall, September, October and early November. Well your time appears to be running out. In fact today or early tomorrow appears to be the end of the season. By tomorrow night the temps are going down low, and courses will be closing. More on that tomorrow. Unless there is a lucky weather pattern next week, you better go play today or tomorrow. I’m headed out the door in a few minutes myself for last round of 18, maybe there is still a birdie or two in the bag.
