We have a high of 25 this Wednesday, 20 below average for this time of year. I have yet to hit a ball outdoors this year. Last year we hit 80 in march. Just ridiculous. I need to move!

I can feel your pain. Worse yet, I've had 3 days in the high 40s, and not one of my friends could go except to hit the range. I'm chomping at the bit right about now, and next weekend even looks a bit cold.

As I look out my window, it's snowing right now. Anyone have tickets to fly to Florida they don't need?

Yep ... I live in New Hampshire, snowing like crazy right now. The only think keeping me sane is an Optishot sim in my basement. (Ceiling is JUST high enough so I can hit my clubs, without a complete follow through) It's not REAL golf but at least i'm swinging my clubs. Can't wait for spring!!!

Yep -3* here (that's 27* in American). Got a foot of snow last night and more expected throughout the day. Basement hitting net is all I got for at least a couple more weeks.

Heck yes!  I split my time between Ohio and Virginia (Shenandhoah valley) and managed to sneak 18 in on Saturday.  Came to Cleveland on Sunday while it was pouring rain and snowing in VA.  Gave up on a decent XC ski season in Ohio due to lack of snow and began to itch for golf season.  Now calling for cold and snow for the rest of the week.  Maybe I need to wish for warm in the winter and cold in the spring?

Western Pennsylvania has been tough this winter, too. (Where is global warming when you need it?) The ten day forecast calls for 5 days with precipitation (rain/sleet/snow) and daily highs of 31° to 41°.

Drivers: Bag 1 - TM R11 (10.5°); Bag 2 - Ping G5 (9°),
Fairway woods: #1 - TM RBZ Tour (14.5°) & TM System 2 Raylor (17°); #2 - TM Burner (15°) & TM V-Steel (18°)
Hybrid: #1 - TM Rocketballz (19°); #2 - Ping G5 (19°)
Irons: #1 - Ping i3+; #2 - Hogan Edge  (both 4-pw, +1" shaft)
Wedges: #1 - Ping i3+ U wedge (52°) & Ping Eye 2+ BeCu (60°); #2 - Ping ISI Sand BeCu (52°) & Cleveland CG11 lob (60°)

We don't even start to think about hitting outdoors until mid-April in Michigan. Anything earlier is a blessing.

I woke up to 7 below zero on Sunday morning.  Looking at the extended forecast, there does not appear to be much let up.

We have been spoiled the last couple of years.  This year is pretty much the way it should be weather wise...

Sucks for us golfers.  I'm DYING to get this season going!

Alright, already. Uncle. I give. Calgon, take me a way.  Had enough winter already. No such thing as 'global warming' in NE Ohio.  Right now:  15-20 mph winds, snow flurries and mid-20s. Absolutely no end in site. Golf league starts in 2 weeks.  We'll be playing in complete crap weather for a month, guaranteed.

Honestly, if I could pry my wife from Ohio, we'd be living some place like Sommerville, SC TOMORROW!!!  I'd truly love to live in a warmer climate where winter lasts about 2 months and golf season 10 months.  Heat and humidity?  I'll take it over this any day!

Our weather forecast here in Toronto looks pretty much the same.  10 days is being optimistic.  It doesn't look like we will have anything consistently reasonable until mid April!

I was out of the country last week and was delighted that the snow was gone in Boston when I came back Friday night.  We had about 8" of snow this morning.  Crushed my hopes of the courses opening up sooner.

I think the problem is that we have been spoiled the last few winters.  I've averaged at least one round a month in Nov,Dec,Jan,Feb and begin to get several in March.  Not this year.  I think I've played once with a few days where I was able to walk around hitting a 7i when the course was closed.  This year is the winter we used to have but forgot about.

For me, what makes it worse is that I'm going to NC this weekend and snow is actually in the forecast.........yet it was 75 this past weekend.  Oh well, I'll bundle up.

Calgary weather is below average for this time of the year. Just got back form 3 weeks in New Zealand ( home ) and temp didnt drop below 25* celsius ( having a significant drought there though - kinda sad )

Probably wont be golfing in Calgary till mid/end of April at BEST

SUCKS!  Here in NY, there have only been been 4 days over 50 degrees in all of February and March combined.  I was out on the course for one of them, but usually I've played 3 or 4 times by now.  On the plus side, I treated myself to a new RBZ driver with the money I've saved on greens fees by not playing.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
