Fall Golf : file photo KDG

The weather is great here in Merritt and the colour of fall makes a visual feast.

The Nicola Valley Golf and Country Club makes allowances for weather to being open during the declining fall. There are many glorious days to golf each fall .

Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. The US National Weather Service defines this as weather conditions that are sunny and clear with above normal temperatures, occurring late-September to mid-November. It is usually described as occurring after a killing frost. source Wikipedia
