It's still early in the season. Conditions are bad and you're shaking off the rust.

I think you should take your clubs. Even if you don't play, get out in the warm weather and hit some balls, practice pitching and putting. It will be good just to get back into the groove.

I thought you got a net for your garage?

If you travel there often, I think it would be a good idea to get an extra set. You'll save on baggage fees in the long run and having the clubs there will make you want to use them.

It's true that conditions are not great, but the swing is my problem. I'm trying to get slouching tiger to return and struggling a bit doing it. I did buy a net, but only used it once. I know. Stupid. Now that it's nicer, I want to set it up in the back yard. I would love to set it up in the house where I could leave it up permanently year round. ;-)

I'm down there 3-4 times a year. Not sure if that would be worth it or not.. Our car is full for this trip, but I might FedEx them for the future. The boy and I are going to take a few clubs each and at least hit a driving range. Perhaps I will put a video up here to share the warm FL sun with those still covered in snow. >=)

Not bad though my yard is barely dusted and radar shows it moving through by 2AM. Won't work for a morning tee time but I will be out for my usual round Fri after work.

It is going to be 70F here today in Boston!!!  It was 52 when I got up.  No courses are open, but I hope a lot of melting happens.

Sandwich Hollows is taking tee times...according to Golf Now. I was in Manch yesterday and almost all the snow was gone sans the big piles...

Booked my first tee time for the season at the Wind Watch! http://www.clubcorp.com/Clubs/Wind-Watch-Golf-Country-Club/Amenities/Golf

Very excited!  I played this course once a few years ago but don't remember much about it.

Have to go as a single since my golfing buddies down here (and @dkolo ) were all busy. :-(

so it snowed yesterday, last night and through this morning.  Of course my 9 AM tee time was a wash.

I also have 8:30 AM tee time tomorrow at the front range of the Rocky Mountains, but that seems like a wash also.

I may have to head over to Riverdale Dune ( @Dave2512 's home course, I presume?).

Hey @Dave2512 there?  Is the course covered in snow or is it all gone?

Looks like Fox Hollow won't open until Sunday.

Clear here though haven't been by Dunes since last week. Call first Riverdale is path only or walking after it's been wet, they already look like late spring over there nice and lush. I'll be heading to my rinky-dink 9 hole track in Frederick later today Bella Rosa. We got very little snow up here, my grass was showing clear spots before I left for work this AM and Sun has been out all day with no clouds up here. I am sure Todd Creek will be open, Buffalo Run too.

Here is nice diversion.

Along with Easter dinner, this is the plan for the long weekend, somewhere along the coast!

Your picture is just missing the big beach Umbrellas and the coolers full of ice, food and drinks. . .maybe a wedge to practice sand shots. ;-)
