Golfer Newbies

Lately I've been feeling frustrated about not being able to get out and play golf in the winter here in Chicago and antsy to go somewhere I could play. Then I got the brilliant idea to see if there were any places I could play around here in the winter. I found the following list – this made me happy because Fresh Meadows is where I go to the driving range, and I got a gift certificate to play there for Christmas. So, as soon as it gets above 32 I'm going out! I'll let you know how it goes. You might consider researching your area — I just googled "winter golf in chicago."
