Since I had long over stayed my welcome at the "Winter depression" thread I have decided to start a new thread whereby my photos will be on topic.

It's been raining off and on for the last 2 weeks. I have managed to squeeze in four 9 hole rounds, but it has been sloppy. Light rain at this very moment. But sunny weather starting Sunday. Going to take a few days to dry out though.

Been beautiful all week here.  Smoked a pork shoulder on my grill on Monday, played my first round on Wednesday.  Sunday it's supposed to be near 80°.

OK now I'm hungry for both pulled pork and golf!  It was 37F here today. :-)

I still have a little snow in my yard, but the rain tonight and tomorrow should get rid of most of it. The rain will stop by Sunday and the high will be 51°, but I have a feeling that the ground will be saturated.

On Monday it is supposed to be sunny and 61°, this might be my best chance to get in my first round of the year.

Two big events this weekend in Pittsburgh are the golf show and St. Patrick's Day parade, although it is supposed to rain on Saturday.

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°)
Putters: Ping B60i & Anser 2, Odyssey White Steel 2-Ball & White Hot XG #9, Lamkim Jumbp grips
Golf Balls: Titleist Pro V1, Bridgestone B330, Callaway SR1, Slazenger Grips: Lamkin Crossline

Potato photo from my course today. The opened for play this weekend.

We've been getting 5-10ºC the last week and lots of sun. It's still early and we might yet see frost and snow, but it's a start. Very warm winter this year with very little rain or snow.

There's still snow left on the courses by me, and the ground is completely soaked. Might be at least another week before they open. I did hear a chorus of birds outside my living room window this morning.

OK now I'm hungry for both pulled pork and golf!  It was 37F here today.

You want quickie pulled pork? Use a pressure cooker. Just be sure to add a nice dose of liquid smoke and you can have moist pork in an hour or so. Yes, that fast. Recipe:

4-5 pound boston butt, quartered (freeze the bone for seasoning beans on another occasion)

cup of orange juice

small bottle of barbecue sauce of your choice

several good dashes of liquid smoke

Bring to pressure, then reduce heat to low while maintaining pressure. Let cook for 50 minutes. Remove from heat and allow pressure to subside naturally (could take 20 minutes or so). Pull and enjoy.

As for the weather, my yard has been a mudhole since November due to such a rainy winter, and I can't wait to be in Florida next month, on the golf course, with dry feet!

In the bag:
Lady Tiger Shark 5 Hybrid
Lady Tiger Shark 9 Iron
Adams a70S Hybrid Gap Wedge
Adams Lady Fairway 1007 Putter

Courses are opening mid April here. There's still a lot of snow on the ground despite about a week above freezing temperatures.

70° now at 10:43 in Northeastern CO, on it's way to 78°.  Tomorrow is forecast to 82°.  Today I'm baking bread - tomorrow, playing golf. :-D

Spring really has sprung.... I played nine holes today at a local course that is affectionately called, "The Ditch." The courses in Western Pennsylvania are very soft, with mud and plugged balls being the rule rather than the exception. The weather was sunny and in the low 40°'s, but the fairways were soggy.

There were a number of plugged balls on the course. I lost one ball, an eco-friendly Dixon golf ball ( https://www.dixongolf.com/home.php ), but found three other ones including a Titleist NXT-Tour, Bridgestone, and a Slazenger. SO, I was two under balls for the day. (Some of you might remember that it was Auric Goldfinger who played a Slazenger in the movie, "Goldfinger." Bond played a Penfold Hearts.)

It is supposed rain tomorrow, so our weekend of golf will probably be soppy, soggy, mucky, or any other saturated word you can think of.

Ah yes, it is springtime on the golf course. :-D
