So, I pick up the new Taylor Made Superquad today (10.5, R), and the damn snow here in Pennsylvania does not want to melt

There is no place for me to hit this club (other than my basement) - all driving ranges and course in a 75-mile radius are closed!

A buddy and I are now pretty stir crazy, and are contemplating a day trip on Saturday to the Maryland shore. I mean we are now looking at NOAA satellite images of US Snow cover. I now have to convince my wife that a 10-hour road trip (golf included) is a sane idea - just looking for dry land...

I'll post my initial thoughts on the driver if I play. I guess I should be grateful I don't live in Oswego, NY -- 110" in seven days !!

In SA we play golf all year round. I know that is NOT what you want to hear right now , but I've been listening to all grumbles about the daaa-yum snow, and I now appreciate the fact that we have some awesome weather. Took it for granted previously, not anymore though...

I got my Mizuno driver on a day that it rained. Rain kept up for two days, nearly drove me out of my mind! And that was only for TWO days!

And I see no problem with a 10 hour roadtrip...

probably another thing you don't want to hear

but up on boston, we have several driving ranges (covered and heated) open year round. surprised you don't have the same. anyway, the best way to convince your wife is to get her bitten by the golf bug as well! but for more immediate needs...maybe stay over a night or two in MD and do some touristy stuff there. maybe then she'll let you sneak a couple hours of golf in.

I am envious of your driving ranges..

Regarding Maryland, unfortunately my wife has seen just about everything. There is also the issue of a 2-year old, so her tagging along is tough. Like the snow, she's gradually thawing to the idea, and if there is a course open, it looks like I might be able to go

You think Pennsylvania is bad, try Michigan.

I am literally going insane .

I also have a handfull of drivers I would like to demo,(purchasing in the spring) and I am getting sick of being patient.

On springbreak I will play golf. My only saving grace.

To make my frustration even worse, the snow finally let up and we saw some snow melting and some grass spots . The very next morning a 2 hr delay of school because of snow .

If you don't have snow where you live and just want to tell us how sweet it is , don't post in this thread. I get enough of that from my relative in Arizona.

while we don't have it as bad as the poor folks in oswego, we got nailed pretty good in valentine's day, all of 30" in one day, and it ain't goin' away any time soon. i just heard of one of those indoor places in a nearby town where you can play all these different courses on some screen or something like that. i may have to check it out to ease my urge to swing a club. cabin fever bad this winter.

    • I wouldn't mind getting a Jupiter hat since I live down here, plus it's Tiger's team. I enjoyed how much faster it was, as well as the grass tees. I'm looking forward to Tiger's first match next week. Shame, it looks like the entire season's sold out. I live right down the road from it. Oh well. 
    • I'm wearing a Ballfrogs hat in my photo with Lou from the other day (and I wore it again today): This was the WORST the production and live show are going to be, and they got a lot of things right with only room to grow. I think it'll only get better (not wildly so, but incrementally). And it didn't help that it was a blowout, and yet… it was still pretty interesting. Singles was weirdly a little bit of a drag. I almost wonder if that's not a mid-season change.
    • I missed about 11 weeks of golf this summer due to a back issue, and my distance is still not recovered.  Yet my Handicap Index is 7.0, as compared to 9.1 last January.  So apparently I'm better!  TBH, I haven't improved any skills, with the possible exception of making better decisions.  Ah well, it'll be fun in the new year, as it always is.
    • Yeah, it started Tuesday night.  I watched the first hour and a half or so of it. I enjoyed it. It was fast paced, different, entertaining, etc. I think it's a perfect thing to watch in the winter when good portions of the country are stuck inside and have nothing else to do on Monday evenings. (First week was on a Tuesday but the rest of the matches are on Mondays I believe) The whole thing ran pretty smoothly IMO. Technology seemed to work fine, and if this is the "worst" that it's going to look and feel, I'm here for it.  My wife bought a Boston Common shirt last night because she likes the logo. I think Boston Common is the best logo and I'll probably pick up a hat or shirt from them as well. There isn't one team that is made up of 4 players that I like a lot, but if I had to pick a team to be a fan of, I'd pick LA or Team Jupiter, but I feel like Team Jupiter will be a fan favorite simply because of Tiger.
