GCP Winter Cam

I thought I was prepared mentally for the difference between the balmy winter golf of Phoenix, versus the cabin-fevered inactivity of Prague . . .



I thought I was conditioned by the inexorable approach of winter weather in Prague, the progression from cold and wet conditions to frozen unplayability, to acceptance . . .


But the snow shrouded fairways fill me with melancholy. Then enforced idleness makes my joints and muscles ache even more than the aguing cold . . . My PC Golf games whet my appetite, rather than temporize it . . .
