The grass near my home was white, so... I put on my skis and waded into the goose poop at about 9pm Friday along Phalen Dr with the hope of finding something double-pole-able. No such luck. The short-grass tee box was fine for DP, but even the fairways had too many grassy (or poopy?) clumps showing to make a go of it. Spent 5 minutes "skiing" and gave up. But hey, "on snow" on Nov. 3? What's not to like?
