Forecast for the rest of the week = Highs to push 50 and Rain through the weekend. That should finish up the remainder of the snow, but we'll be left with things being pretty soggy for sometime. If all goes well, we'll be playing before the end of the month .... That's the hope anyway.

I just played my first round in Mass this past Sunday. There was still a small amount of snow on the course and fairways and greens were pretty wet. But it still felt great to get out. Best of luck for a warm and dry March!

Just talked to my Pro over at Delbrook (local muni) and he told me that unfortunately unless we get some rain in the next few weeks, or some very high temperatures, it won't be opening until late march/early april :( I might just go drive 45 minutes to Pro Circle Golf in Spring Grove, IL to hit balls out of a heated shed :P

Im gearing up for golf season too. This weekend my girlfriend and I are going to the Greater Madison Golf Show, which should be fun. Now that the warmer temps are here and the snow and ice are on their way out, Im ready for golf season.
This time of year is always a little sad because that means the end of outdoor ice skating/hockey season; but its also an exciting time of year because it means golf season is just around the corner.

I'm not from WI but my wife is from Waupun and I play in that area several times a year so I feel entitled to answer :) Here in IL, just on the north side of Chicago, it was in the 60s Thursday and Friday and I went to the range twice, started feeling good and was hoping to play this weekend, but alas I woke up to snow! Arrgh. It's supposed to be warm again next week so I'm holding out hope. My wife tells me I've been swinging in my sleep...

Not many updates lately, but since I'm volunteering at the PGA championship this year at Whistling Straits, I have a deal that I can play either the Straits Course or the Irish Course until May 31st for a reduced rate. Problem is that I don't have a whole lot of people to play with. I'm tempted to see if anyone here might be interested in going, but I've got no idea who lives near the place lol. Basically its something like $60 + $28 cart fee to play the Irish Course until May 31st, and it is $160 + $60 Mandatory Caddie Fee + X% Caddie Tip to play the Straits Course. I'm still on the fence about taking advantage of it as I've got crap for money at the moment and its a 3'ish hour drive up there lol.

And as a side note, I can't give the deal to anyone else as the reservation has to be made with my name and a credit card with my name on it as well, so it would have to be me and between 1 and 3 other people as I may have some people already, but no idea yet haha.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
