Just returned from several days of golf and sun in Florida. Weather was awesome the family had a great time. We left Massachusetts when the temp was 7 degrees Fahrenheit and landed in Orlando where the temp was 77 degrees. My son and I played 3 rounds over 5 days and had a great time. We played the Waldorf Astoria course, The Grand Cyprus New Course and the Ritz Carlton Course. Just fabulous to be able to play golf in February. Those of you that can play golf all year round are truly lucky. I have posted some pics and the last picture is of our house the day we returned.

It is much safer in Feb even for Florida. I was there in mid Jan for 4 days and only had one warm day. Even had frost delay at Orange County for 2 hours. But I am going to Scottsdales and Sedona this Thursday for 4 days and three games. Besides LV, this would be my really first desert golf.

Grand cyprus was a lot of fun. My son and I both played very well there and really enjoyed the variety of shots needed on the New Course. Try to get out early as it can back up in the afternoon. We teed off at 8:15 and were done in 3 hours 45 mins. Didn't need driver as the ball would run a lot ,used 3wood off the tee.

The ritz is top notch. Great facility. Excellent staff. My son played for free. Course is fun with some nice tight fairways. When we played there was nobody else on the course. A lot of people skip this course due to cost, but it is worth it.

If you get a chance play the Waldorf course. Great course. Long from the tips and challenging with all the water in play. It is a Resse Jones course.

The weather here in Mass is just crap. Getting away was for sanity sake.

My home course is slated to open on April 5th. I don't think that will happen given that I have 2feet of snow in my back yard.
