I don't rock the argyle or stripe, just regular soccer socks. But I do find them more comfortable than trying to wear pants, plus dirt can no longer get into my socks (something I was constantly having a problem with when wearing short socks).

One of my favorite times recently was probably mid october when the wind was causing it to snow leaves on us. I love the oxygen and the smells and the solitude.

The best time of year at Juel is late summer early fall when you have a buffet of blackberries, plums, apples, and salmon berries.

My personal best round I ever had on the old layout was on a very very wet and windy november day.

P.S. Don't let the city folk or nature walkers see you in the creek. They don't want us stinky golfers anywhere near there.

When I was a kid before there was any Juel Park I used to jump in the creek from the bridge on 116th and follow it all the way to my moms house on Mink Road right near Woodinville Duvall Road. A couple miles the other way (with the flow) I had several friends who lived near the creek and we would walk up and down all summer long

The possibility of crappy weather is just one more reason I don't play in tournies.

you're a man who knows how to take care of himself... one of my hugest peeves is folks bitchin' on the golf course... I mean, c'mon, nobody's making you play... and there's no shame in snugglin' up on the sofa with a cup of cocoa and the latest Danielle Steele... if that's what fuzzes your peach anyway...

I rarely refuse to play in any weather when someone else wants to huk with me. It's just gotten hard to drag myself out there alone to get soaked. I don't have good clothes for it and the good rain gear I have is the same as the crabbers wear. Not the best for hukking.

I don't know where you are, Frisbeerose, but Seattle has only a 10% chance of rain (and only a 30 % chance of that) until 2 or so and Bellingham is DRY ALL DAY (and a 10% chance of that). What are the chances?

*strangles Snap*

Don't make me fly down there just to golf with you in some purdy weather,, I will do it! I'm a park ranger and sit on my butt a lot in the winter. I can't think of any better excuse to pay 250.00 to play golf =]

Someone get this man some gear! Sierra Trading post usually has good rain jackets for cheap... cause hukking in a rubber rain suit just won't work... gotta have the pit zips!
