Looks like the whole weekend will be rained out. I skipped playing last Sunday since the forecast looked so good for this week. Got into work Monday morning and suddenly the whole outlook for the week was bleak. Luckily I took a half day on Wednesday when it looked like I might have just enough time to maybe get in a full 18. Thankfully they were allowing carts on the course as I was able to get in 18 in 2:20 (had to wait on 4 of the holes) and it started pouring just as I was finishing up the 18th.

Bummed about no golf this weekend but at least I still have 8.5 days personal/vacation days left to use.

Yeah, I totally hear you and commiserate. Lots of rain lately, lots of days I wanted to play or practice but couldn't.

Are there such things as indoor golf courses? No, simulators don't count.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I work every other weekend and I'm actually at work this weekend. I'm not feeling so bad about having to work now, so long as the rain lets up by next weekend! Although, it is September in Northeast Ohio. I can't really expect anything other than waking up to the complete opposite of the nightly forecast.

"Tomorrow's High 59°F with 60% chance of showers."  Wake up to 70° and sun. "Tomorrow's High, 72°F with 10% chance of scattered showers". Wake up to 55°, rain, fog, mist, 20mph wind, etc. etc. etc. lol

Yeah, wake up this morning to no rain and the afternoon is supposedly only a very minimal chance of rain. I can probably escape rain all together if I drive a few hours west or northwest.

Ended up getting a round in both Saturday and Sunday. Cart path only so the rounds were brutally long (4.75 hours Saturday, 5.33 Sunday) but it's better than being stuck indoors due to rain.

They had a few marshalls out but it didn't help. From what I could see the whole course was backed up. It didn't help that the course is very anal about cart path only meaning don't even take one wheel off the cart path. blocked by the other cart in your group? Sit and wait until they can move forward (not that we didnt break that rule a few times). They probably would have been better off leting some people walk.

The rain is allegedly about done here. Its been 6 days straight about now for us. I say allegedly, because the weather man keeps predicting Sunny on the next day, and then you wake up to rain.

    • Many thanks.  I read a lot of those posts.   Man, that is really deep.  As an old beginner, during a lesson or on the driving range, I have hit a good shot, you know pretty straight and it goes say 130 yards (7 iron).  The very next swing, I dig a ditch behind the ball.  I know I didn't do the same things on both swings.  Even this last lesson I had, I would hit a pretty good shot, not so on the next shot.  The instructor would quickly point out, "Hey you stayed on your back foot" or "Guess what happened there.  You got all armsy or handsy".  Sort of feels like I need a checklist when I prepare to swing each time.  I can see it now before every swing, "Hey can you guys give me 10 minutes while I run through my checklist".  In all seriousness, I see what you all are saying.  I wouldn't be overthinking it so much if just I could make decent contact most of the time.  Next lesson is about two weeks away.  Can't wait.

    • I was going to link in the same think @snapfade did.  Your swing is already consistent, repeatable, except for nearly "microscopic" differences.  The more mechanically-sound your swing becomes, the smaller and less frequent those "microscopic" deviations become.
