Earlier yesterday I received a letter that mandated I close TST due to its status as a "non-essential" business. As many others know, Governor Tom Wolf of PA has closed golf courses state-wide, and now is closing all golf-related activity, despite courses in OH, NY, and WV remaining open so long as they follow the proper guidelines.

At midnight tonight, I'm shutting TST down in order to comply with the order from Governor Wolf.

This is a sad day, and I can only hope that we will be able to re-open TST at some point in June or July or whenever we finally get the all-clear.

In the meantime, please consider signing this petition:

Thank you. I'll see y'all on the flip side.

P.S. Please check back tomorrow, as I plan to leave at least a comment form where you can sign your name and forward a pre-written email to Governor Wolf or something in support of allowing TST to continue operating. Our server, after all, isn't in PA.

WTF. Websites that can be kept up from home (if you don't always work from home) have to be shut down? That doesn't make any f***ing sense.

Government truly paints with a broad brush.

Sorry this is happening. It's really kind of an outlet for us who are spending a lot of time looking at walls these days.

The TST corporate offices will be closed as well, which is a large hindrance. There wasn't enough warning to set up proper secure VPN solutions to allow full work-from-home capabilities. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it truly is the only option for the near term moving forwards.

Bonvivant, you'd better get into your April Fools mode.  Sorry to hear Ohio has now closed down all courses, indefinitely...

I changed my reply as to not spoil it. I guess the cats put of the bag now.

They went that way in time to screw my one day off and then they changed their mind. Courses can be open with some heavy social distancing rules in place.

Wait there’s a cute receptionist now? This is what I get for working from a satellite office.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
