The first indication is that the weather is starting to turn. Our last cold weekend, fingers crossed, is over and the forecast has nothing but warmer weather for the next few weeks. This always brings smiles to my face as I watch the snow banks in my front yard recede. Additionally, the Golf Historical Society has its annual memorabilia show at the Don Valley Golf Course. It is a must attend event that most hickory players from the southern region flock to looking for deals on equipment and to meet up with like minded friends.

The last reason I know golf season is just around the corner is that I am getting the itch to hit the links. It always happens in the first week of March, however I still have about six weeks to wait. In the meantime, I will keep being grateful for the warmer weather and to focus on the great things to come.

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
