I know where you are coming from Basher, it feels like we are missing out on summer and winter is looming large. It is mid August, and it is 15 degrees, windy and raining. Now I don't mind this weather later in the year, and will play in pretty much any conditions, but right now, I feel I am missing out on those balmy summer evenings, a quick 13 holes, and then a pint on the veranda. This can only be done in the summer, and is a big part of this time of year for me.
