...let all you suckers (especially those in the frozen north) know that I am leaving for Ft. Lauderdale this morning and I have no less than five scheduled tee times for early next week.

I'll be tee-ing off under a palm tree while you guys are alternating between sanding braces and shoveling snow.      

Of course I feel guilty as heck because I have a ton of work backed up here, but this was planned back in March and I'll be divorced if I blow it off, so I may as well try to forget about work and just hit the ball, right?

yeah, yeah yeah, have fun and don't get bitten by a gator!

Pack a sweater John... it might be cold in Florida

Hesh, no can do; my wife is way too hot. Plus, as Tony Soprano would say, "she's a good earner for this thing of ours".

Anthony, nice try, but it's going to be in the upper 80's today. Besides, I'm in Milwaukee. 60 would be a heat wave at this point.

Ummm...I object! You're supposed to be working on developing your dovetailed/slotted headstock/diamond volute in-stock necks for under $100. You can't do that on a golf course my friend! So get back to work!

Uhhh...well, I guess we all need a break.
Have a great time! And don't be like me, losing an average of 1.15 golfballs per 18 holes.
Man, I hate the woods. Why do they put all those trees near golf courses? And ponds...them too. Don't they know there's a magical attraction between water and golfballs??????

It just ain't right.

Only badly."

Water!!! Don't talk about water... The last time I went out, I lost so many balls in the drink that the water level rose by about 6 inches!!!

Have fun John!

Suckers?? Why... that's.... rude!

      I really mean this, watch out for the alligators. I mean it!!! In Florida there's a magical attraction between golfers and alligators

     Have a good time with your hot wife and your alligators John!! You deserve it!
