Midweek last week, it was 40 and the snow was gone, now it's 30 and there's 18 inches of the white stuff on my lawn again. I had March 24th picked as the first Saturday I'd be able to swing the clubs on a course, now it's looking like Mid-April...

Anyone else in the northern midwest just about ready to move?

I got out Saturday for the first time since early January myself. I feel for you with the snow and all. When I got to the course saturday, the lady at the counter warned me that the course wasn't in great shape, muddy and all. She said they had had to chip ice out of the holes to get the flagsticks in the day before. But then she looked at me again and said, "But you're desperate aren't you?". I had to LOL because she was just so right.

I played fairly poorly, but that 1 1/2 hours walking 9 was the best fun I've had in a month.

I am so done with winter! I finally found my driveway after a few days with temps in the 40's and raining. We've been burried in a thick layer of ice on top of about 12" of snow for a month now. I played a lot in the early spring last year but it was not fun. A couple of times I was the only golfer/idiot on the course. I don't think I will try that again.
I'm waiting for the weather to change this year and then I'm just not going to rest until winter!
Hang in there midwesterners, spring is aroung the icy corner!

We were so desperate this past weekend, that two of us crazies drove 2 hours from Harrisburg to Middletown, Delaware. No snow, but the wind was just crazy!! I swear it was colder in Delaware than in PA. That being said (don't hate me), I leave for Aruba on Sunday and have two tee times at Tierra Del Sol. It's 86 at 9:00am, but weather.com says the RealFeel temperature is 91!!

I thought I had been so clever this winter. I got my boss to agree to me travelling out of my vacation home in SC (rather than HQ in NoVA). I left for SC on Jan 26 and did two trips out of there one to Columbia and one to Orlando. I got back to VA on Feb 12. Every since the weather has been awful! Sleet, snow, ice - all the stuff I really hate.

As I write this I'm in a hotel in Minneapolis where the weather is only supposed to get worse as the week goes on. I could be stuck here until the weekend. I'm really ready for Spring.

After spending three hours on Sunday with the snowblower and shovel I was ready for Arizona. I'm currently in a hotel north of Philly and can't wait to get back to Minneapolis on Wednesday (for the next foot of snow

) My luck, I'll have to sit on the runway for eight hours...

I feel your pain my man, I'm in South Dakota and there is no sign of golf weather coming anytime soon. We actually had a couple of nice days and some of the snow was melting, only to get hammered again Sunday and today.

I have learned never to buy golf equipment TOO early in the year if I can at all help it, having brand new equipment just sitting idle would drive me even crazier!

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
