Not yet, but its getting close here. I plan on going out tomorrow, but temps expected to be mid 40's with probably light rain. Give it a month, and I think it will be unplayable here until at least late March.

I've started searching for that software engineering job in the south, I'm done with this

We had about eight inches here on Saturday night and then another couple on top of that on Tuesday. I just moved here from the southeast so this will be my first winter dealing with golf shutting down. Luckily there is a heated and covered driving range just up the road from my house, so hopefully I can still get a swing in every now and then. My basement is set up with a mirror so I can at least work on some light swings and positions during the off season.

Its getting very close - tomorrow the high is 31* and windy, occasional snow flurries. Rained most of today.

It snowed about an inch a week ago and has been snowing off and on ever since. Not enough to completely cover my front yard though.

After this winter I've only got one more before I'm out of here and will hopefully never see another snow flake again. I could go the rest of my life without seeing a snow flake and would be completely happy.

I hate snow. I hate cold. I hate the north.

I'd miss the snow and change of seasons but this is getting ridiculous.  In a two week span, we had more than 38" of snow.  It's been a record December for snowfall at nearly 50" and some in the forecast for new year's eve.  I'm worried when we'll be able to get on the courses around here!

We just had a Nor"Easter here with 17".  I regret not playing a few weeks back when it was 40 F and sunny.  Now we'll just have to hybernate for the winter.  I will be playing on St Croix in February though!!!

I'm in hampton roads VA and on the 26th we got hit hard, like 15" of snow. There's still at least a foot in my backyard and it doesn't look like I'll be golfing in a while. I hate winter, I want it to be 85 degrees year round!

Right now there is about 1.5 feet on my deck.  I played a round on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  In the high 40's and sunny each day.  So I am lucky to get those rounds in, no more for a while.  Hopefully I will be able to get another round or two in before heading to Arizona at the end of January, but if not, oh well.  I will have three full days of golf when I get to AZ!  Then will be in Florida for a week just one week after getting home from Arizona.

    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
