Last Thursday everybody in our department got the word that the next day the water for our building would be shut off for water main maintenance. Because that constitutes a health hazard, the boss said that everyone had a day off. Well the weather report for Friday was clear and in the 60's so guess what I did! I figure this was nature's way of telling me to hit the links!

What's your home course? Are they really closing down in VT? We're probably another month or so away from that down here (all weather dependent, of course).

I work for a VT company, am a UVM grad and my wife is from the Northeast Kingdom so I play in VT every now and again. I've played Newport CC, Orleans CC, Barton CC, Barre CC, Blush Hill GC, Stowe GC, CCVT and Norwich GC and have enjoyed them all. Sad to see the VT courses closing.

Perhaps I should follow up on my round. It was one of those "missed it by that much" rounds. For example, I hit a nice tee shot on a par three, but pushed it a smidge, maybe a smidge and half . Went right toward a bump on the side of the green. It could either kick left and end up real close or kick right and leave me short sided in a real steep grass bunker. Well I got a bogie so you can figure out what happened. But hey, I could have been at work

I have yet to have such a bad round at golf that it would have been better to have been at work, and I have had TONS of bad rounds.


greensdruid-my home course is St. Johnsbury, in the heart of the kingdom, depending on who you ask. great course, very hilly. you should check it out if you haven't already. they shut her down after the 31st, no matter what. you can still go out there and beat it around, but you have to play to all temp greens, that sucks. used to be a member at orleans, for many years, but orleans is out of the way now. love the course, though. have played newport many times, have always enjoyed that track, too. don't get out that much otherwise. played barton when i was even more of a hacker than i am now. they have done alot with the place. so, the tracks in southern nh are still open? i'll have to think about a trip south. what's a good track down your way?

myblood: I've heard great things about St. J CC. Will have to try it sometime. Funny that you mention Barton - it's clearly the poor cousin when it comes to NE Kingdom courses, but I liked it because its really a throwback to what golf might have been many years ago when some local decided they'd lay out a golf course. You end up with a quirky collection of holes, some boring, some completely off the wall, lots of bad bounces, shaggy greens etc. etc. I'll take Orleans any day but for hacking around, you can't beat Barton's $18 for 18 holes.

As far as courses down here go, I'm guessing many of the mountain courses are closed but would recommend Sky Meadow in Nashua or the Overlook in Hollis. The Shattuck CC in Jaffrey is a nasty little course - extremely difficult but if you like target golf au naturel, it's an interesting course. Leave the driver at home and bring lots of balls.

In a couple of weeks, you'll probably need to go even further south to get good conditions. The Cape is always a good bet in late season.

    • Phone launch monitors are only getting better.  The cameras are improving with each new generation of phone and software is getting more accurate.  It is only a question of time before phone apps are good enough for all the basic information a golfer needs (club head speed, ball speed, carry distance, total distance).  It makes me wonder about the value of launch monitors in the long run, barring high level amateurs and professionals who want very accurate data and more parameters
    • I live in South India so temperatures are virtually never cold enough to stop play.  Just that the monsoon can make play difficult.  I am just not willing to play in the rain and kind of reluctant to play when the ground is soggy and balls are plugging all the time.  And since we don't have snow here, any time the ground is dry enough I am willing to play
    • Just listened to episode 8 - I really enjoyed this one. The vegetable analogy is great IMO. Candy is fun and gives you the instant high, but if you only eat candy you're not going to be feeling too good. Vegetables don't give you that instant high, but they keep you healthier and long term you'll feel much better.  For what it's worth, for me, sometimes I want something that is going to help me shoot a better score on Saturday and others I want to improve something about my swing that will make me better long term even if I struggle a little in the short term. It's up to me to communicate that with my coach.  Last comment - I would indeed share the hope that every lesson leaves the player "better" than they were on the way in. I would imagine if you have a good coach and good student, then the only time that doesn't happen is when you leave the lesson with it going so badly that you just revert to the old pattern. 
    • After the Watson disaster, it really seems like the Browns are hedging their bets with quarterback now.  My guess is that Flacco is still seen as the old reliable that can play if need be, but they are just hoping one of the other three can separate himself. Somebody is going to be the odd man out by the time the season starts, so it makes for an easy daily storyline out of Berea come training camp. Still kind of thought that with the 2026 QB class so well thought of, building the other positions made more sense, but nobody is paying me to run a football team.   
    • I think the initial red flag is having Deion second guessing every coaching decision. Blabbering in the media about his kid being under utilized and unable to shine.   I think the secondary fear is Deion wanting to coach and turning the team ownership and leadership into a chaos and a clown car! The more talking heads I had heard, have reported that Shedeur showed up for interviews unprepared and unserious. And that is not how a #1 draft acts. it would be 1 thing if he was the most talented QB who played at a top ten school. But he played in a lesser division and as someone else stated, had to score a lot just to win (9-4 & 4-8).
