Hmm.  VG, I think they are giving us this.

Well in June when it is in the pleasant 70s here in New England and the Southern US is 95F with 95% RH with torrential rain and tornado warnings, the SW is 115F in the shade, and So Cal is on fire, I expect they will feel differently.

Agreed. It is quite balmy and nice in the summer here. We will have to start a "Pleasant Summer golf in the NE" thread then.

Flag on the play - Flagrant taunting against the South Jerseyan and Floridian.

Yeah, July and Aug can be pretty brutal here, but when it gets bad I say screw golf and head to the beach..

Uh-oh, this is not good. I just got a mint W/S 1813 blade putter and high temps are supposed to be around 30 for a long while and putting on the living room carpet just isn't cutting it. I guess my taunting is coming back at me...

I played yesterday. it was right around 30. the bigger problem was that the greens were frozen. I could hit a ball well with a wedge to the center of the green and it would bounce high and fly off the back of the green.

Sunny and 60 all week here next week. I'm going to try to get out and play twice. Best time of year here to play (when the temps reach 60+.) The courses are empty and the rates are as low as they get.

I live in NJ and playing in the fall was a nightmare. I put a tee shot in the fairway (which isn't often enough), and boom, ball lost. I even stopped looking for balls that went into the trees. Dropped shots added about 7 shot to my scores. Nowadays, the cold is messing with my head. I golfed in about 35 degree weather, but I can't do that anymore, I'm not built for that stuff. I'm gonna be in the DC area for a bit so hopefully the weather is better for golfing

Anyone use the Oakley golf specific lenses? They were probably one of the best purchases I've made. Makes it so much easier to spot balls and read green contours on your approach.

There is a thread in the Balls,, etc section on this.  I use Oakley prescription M-Frames.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
