Anyone here in GA,SC or NC?

Im in Raleigh and we got absolutely pummeled today and still experiencing some very dangerous weather.

Snow came down hard starting early afternoon and now its sleeting / icy rain. The roads are an absolute disaster. My drive home from work looked like a scene out of an apocalyptical movie...hundreds of cars crashed, pulled over on side of road, a lot of people walking (abandoning their vehicle, figuring its safer that way). I honestly have not been as scared as I was driving home today than I have been since I was kid. No clue how I made it home safely either, there was about 3 or 4 separate occasions where a car driving near me started to spin out or lose control and came close to hitting me.

And think...I recently moved here from Miami lol!

Anyone else going through this?

Glad to hear you're OK, sucks about the weather.

Not from the south but that kind of stuff is part for the course up here in NY.

Yeah, guess I cant complain as I know you guys get it more often and worse. Just something we are not prepared for here!

Holy smokes that's a great pic. Here in northern VA, snow started a couple hours ago and might continue for the next 24 according to my weather app. We will see.

Yeah I just mostly stayed in the house today. Yesterday was just 4 inches of snow so not too bad to drive on but today we got ice on top of the snow and they don't clear roads out here where I live on the mountain.

Tonight has been a few more inches of snow again. Most people around us don't have electricity but ours was only out a couple of hours this afternoon (nice to have somebody that works for the electric coop living across the road. :-D

I cant imagine living in the mountains during snow / ice storms, that would really freak me out...pretty manly of you!! Lol, im a wimp in that regard though ;) The difference of lifestyle between growing up in south fl and now living in the carolinas has been eye opening. Although at the end of the day both have their pros and cons.

I know the feeling. I lived at Key West when I was a kid and when I moved here I went from fishing in the flats and skin diving the reef, to hunting and fishing in the canyon. Both fun, just different.

I'm actually coming to the NC area for a golf trip in April. I'm from Wisconsin so hopefully I'll be getting away from that weather!

. Lol yeah - in a day or two there will be no sign this system ever existed and hit our area. Heck, we are already expecting some days in the 70s next week. April is absolutely gorgeous here. Have fun!

I live in Winston-Salem, NC and it is still snowing. We has sleet last night, and it made the snow crusty and very heavy. A very unusual winter! The last several winters had been mild, so we were due for some bad weather. I've played less this winter than I have for a long time.

This was down the street from my house earlier today... [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/91866/] [/URL]

That is a phenomenal picture. Looks like a movie set.

Looks like another day of hanging around walking distance of the house.

Yowza!!!

Be safe! The irony is, I played a lot this winter! (my cut off when I moved here last winter was 55 degrees but this winter I changed my cut off to 45 degrees and it has allowed me to get 3-4 more rounds in thus far when compared to last year). Hoping all this snow / ice is melted by Monday so I can play (calling for low 50s and mostly sunny). I have the day off for Presidents Day so would be great to get out there...

That is a phenomenal picture. Looks like a movie set.

Right!? Aside from the burning car...it was similar scenery for my entire 13 mile drive home from work yesterday.

    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
