THE SNOW report 48 hours ago said Wisconsin. But then it was Southern Wisconsin, but then it became Northern Lake County of Illinois. So when golfers awoke today they found something a little different.

Because the snow got much further snow South than it was supposed to. Because all of Lake County had snow, Northern Cook County had snow, DuPage County got snow.

So while it’s been a fun and warmer than normal spring, it looks like for the next few days the snow is here to stay.

The par-3 17th hole on Copperhead, home of this weeks Valspar Championship on the PGA Tour.

But if you had golf plans for the outdoors, you should check out the Valspar Championship on the PGA Tour, live from Innisbrook North of Tampa Florida.

Because the first round leader is past Valspar Champion and Wheaton Illinois’ Kevin Streelman, the former Cantigny Golf employee. Arlington Heights native Doug Ghim and Northbrook native Nick Hardy are both playing in the tournament as well. But you can also add Northwestern Alum and past Valspar Champion Luke Donald to the field.

So here in Illinois-hit the domes, hit the simulators, enjoy the hoops on the big screens and see who might dance into the weekend. But enjoy the Wings in the Mistwood Dome, the burgers at Chandlers, and the flat bread pizza’s in The Shack.

So until tomorrow, keep warm golfers. The outdoors and outdoor golf, can wait a few more days.
