Don’t fret golfers, if the Weather Channel predictions for the rest of September and October are right, there’s a lot of good golf left this fall. But, for me, it’s time to let it go. Alas, this will be the final From Tee to Green for 2018. And I don’t like writing this one every year because, in essence, I’m surrendering to the fact that, time on the course is running out.
