(Cn Cape Cod) youve never played golf in a Cape Cod fog you should try it. Especially when the dew is thick upon the green. Pebble Beach on a good frosty morning has nothing on Cape Cod. There is & difference, though. Here it's a muggy warm spray that comes off your putted ball. At Pebble Beach in February you just roll It up in ice. I had reported one day early for duty here at Otis Air Base so tnis made a morning round of golf possible. The fog was trying to lift as the sun at seven tried to burn it out.

This is the place to stretch a pair of shoes. I can keep drier fishing the Weber River with holes in my boots. And the ball doesnt fly very far in these thickets especially if you get a facing wind off the ocean front.
