Question:
[...] Maybe we could have an RSG New Brunswick next season, during more favourable weather conditions. What do you think Bruce? The halfway point between Moncton and Hartland would be right around your hometown of Fredericton.
Sure! I’m always up for something like that. Todd moved out west or we would have four.

Make it 5! My brother and I are right next door in PEI. We (and 14 friends) recently spent a weekend playing the fine Covered Bridge golf course. Very nice despite the WINDY conditions. Quite a Maritime representation we’ve got going on here, isn’t it?!

"The Rev", Todd McGillivray, is very interested in doing an RSG outing in the Maritimes next summer. I’ll talk to him this weekend and let him know of your interest. He lives in Regina, Saskatchewan, but is a Maritime native (St. John or Freddy….can’t remember). Todd spoke very highly of his round with Bruce a few years ago. — Washington State University "That shot is impossible!…Jack Nicholson himself couldn’t make it!"– Homer Simpson

Todd & I will make it over for at least 7 and I’m sure we could recruit Koenig if he has any vacation left. I’ve heard nothing but great thing about the abundance of great Maritime courses. — Washington State University "That shot is impossible!…Jack Nicholson himself couldn’t make it!"– Homer Simpson

Looks like we may have something started here! We should keep in touch throughout the winter here in RSG and plan something for next season. Pete

Response:
how cold, and blustery does it have to get before you consider – it isn’t worth it?
Snow. In fact, this past April, it started to snow on the course. It was the coldest round I’ve ever played. It was (obviously) at most 32 degrees, but the wind was blowing a good 20-30 mph, CONSTANTLY! However, it is a bit different this time of year. It’s too dark for me to play after work, so I only get 9 or 18 holes in a week, and the game starts to go to crap, so it’s not nearly as fun. I’m at my best when I’m playing in my 2 leagues, then play on Sat or Sun morning.

What, playing with a guy named Gonad?
Response:
I played Kingswood for the first time this past Saturday. What a great course! I’ll be sure to put that on the list of must-play courses in the region. I don’t know if I’ll be playing this week or not. Not without a pair of rubber boots with soft spikes anyway. Pete
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hey Bruce, I was hoping we could get out for a round this year but the season has certainly flown by. We will have to get out next season for sure! In the meantime, the weather is looking promising for another outing this weekend. In fact, we have a tournament tentatively scheduled for Woodstock on Saturday. I’m not putting the clubs away just yet. I’ve always enjoyed Woodstock, but haven’t played there in years. It’s the only course I’ve played with square greens!
I might play Kingswood on Thursday or Friday as a finale, depending on whether or not I have finished building an ark.

I live in New Brunswick, Canada and play until the courses close due to snow.
No snow down here in Moncton, NB yet but the temperatures are getting close to my limit. I played twice this weekend but the courses around here are starting to close. My limit is around 5*C as long as its not wet and not too windy.
Response:
Hi Rod, We got nailed with almost 15 cm (~6") of snow in Hartland last week. My golf buddies decided that we’d drive south until we found an open course. Fortunately, the snow line was around the Nakawic area and most of the courses were still open in Fredericton. I have to admit it was pretty strange to be packing the clubs in the car, making sure not to slip on the ice and having to use a lock de-icer to get in the car before a round of golf! I’m too much of a golf addict to stop before the courses are closed. I’ve been snowed on about a half dozen times and have even played when I could putt accross water hazards. The season is too short as it is so I make sure I keep a wool cap in my golf bag. Still counting on a couple more outings before Jack Frost takes over. Maybe we could have an RSG New Brunswick next season, during more favourable weather conditions. What do you think Bruce? The halfway point between Moncton and Hartland would be right around your hometown of Fredericton. Peter Brennan

how cold, and blustery does it have to get before you consider – it isn’t worth it? there might be geographical areas whereby – if you don’t play under inclement weather conditions, the golfing season is – short. m h o
