It was very windy and cool down here over the weekend, hence, no golf. ::sigh::

I think I am just going to click "report post"

For our golfing brethren up north, we stand with you against the cold and await the return of good weather:

The SE Michigan Golf Show is this coming weekend.  It has always been my traditional "start the season" event.  This year I have played 9.5 rounds starting 1/1 so it feels a bit different.  At least the predicted weather is supposed to cooperate next weekend, cold & snow.

I've seen that some courses are going to open this week, but the weather isn't helpful. It may not break freezing again this weekend in Boston.

It's been an unusual winter for sure, I think I've played more rounds in Jan-Feb than I did in Nov-Dec! very strange, but its kept the blues away for sure.

I just hope the weather gets back to freaky, it's really cold now and I want to be in mid-season form by May!

Do it, Valley, do it! What could he possibly mean by "cool"? Temps in the 60's? My God! We'd be walking around in short sleeved t-shirts! Damn spoiled bastage!

Well, we got 3 eighteen hole rounds in in February, which is pretty much a miracle! March is setting up to be like March always is, the cruelest month! Every time it gets warm enough to play, it rains! And when it's too cold to play, it snows! It reminds me of what the Will Geer character in "Jeremiah Johnson" said about March. "It's a green and muddy business down low!"

This is the time of year when the weather bothers me most.  Today is sunny with a high around 50.  I'd golf but I have to work and have commitments after work.  The rest of the week goes downhill with the weekend only being in the 20s.  Such a tease!  I shouldn't complain, though, I'm taking full advantage of my membership and have already played 36 holes, most of those in Feb!

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

Sorry buddy. The wife and son are going to be out of town for a week starting next weekend if you want to come down. Of course it will probably be warm up there by then.

Thanks for the offer. It's been crazy. 65 one day, 20s two days later.

There's a Winter Weather Advisory up around here, and the last time I ventured into the kitchen for another adult beverage I flicked on the rear light and took a look. Yep! Everything is, once again, covered with snow! We usually get at least one heavy snowfall in the vicinity of St. Patrick's Day, and I'm hoping this will suffice. But I'm too smart, or cynical, to invest much effort into it!

We're escaping with about an inch today, but the forecast for Tuesday is a Nor'Easter with 5-8 F-ing inches of snow.:pound:

Look at the bright side, with Daylight Saving Time, you will have more day light with which to watch it snow!  ;-)

My gf's allergies increase during snow storms as well.

We are projected to get 12 inches Tuesday and already got 2 1/2 at my house today.

Was hitting out in the field behind my house the other evening when a big spruce got up-rooted and crashed a short distance from me.

Tonight I came home from work and could only get in a few swings before the 15° temp chased me back inside. It's been a weird winter. There is virtually no snow on the ground right now but it's just too cold for the courses to open.

      Day 135 (27 Apr 24) - played Bradford Creek today while waiting for the missus fly in from her extended visit with the grands.  Good day to stay focused as it was a hurry up (groups pressing from behind) and wait (groups taking their time ahead)…a good day to stay mentally in the game - play the shot and not get frustrated in the waiting…

      Day 122: 4/27/24 Supposed to be a Stack training day but I was beat after yard work today. Practiced chipping and putting at The Creek. The practice green is pretty slow but the session went well.

      Went to the range today and was cursing myself when I got there as I realized I forgot my phone. I added an earlier wrist hinge to the short backswing I was using last time practicing and ball strikes were really good for the most part. I'm heading back to Boston Thursday to see friends and family and have a couple of rounds planned so I'm hoping to keep this feeling.  Yesterday morning I weighed in at 232. My goal had been 230 but maybe now it's 220. I'll have to think about that. I feel so much better without the extra 90 lbs. from 2 years ago. Still a softl slightly less protruding belly so it might be time to go hard on eating better. Work in progress.
