Golfing
I'm just wondering if anyone would be interested in golfing on Thursday Jan. 24? Coming from Utah I am not able to as its winter and well the snow is a problem. If you're interested let me know so I can figure out a plan and setup a tee time.
I have a vehicle while in town so if you need a ride I'm able to facilitate. It is going to be an economy car and probably won't have much room for clubs and I'm just going to rent because I hate checking luggage.
