Freezing rain advisory today.  My deck is covered in small hail and it's not looking good.   I did play 18 last Thursday though in 70º weather.   

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Not that unusual here. 2 hours east of here yesterday, there was a blizzard. Meanwhile, in Denver, we had a chilly day and a bit of snow, but nothing terrible.

That's not unusual for us, though. Mountains make the weather really volatile, and volatile over short distances to boot.

No mountains here.

Usually at most we are 5-10 degrees apart.

No, I get it. The front is just going to be between Erie and Pittsburgh. Probably doesn't happen much because you don't have a weather influence like the mountains. So it's more unusual to have temperature swings in short distances like that.

Was your wind off the water? This can happen in Boston and the Cape with an east wind. It can be 80 in Worcester and 50 in Boston.

Got in the car this morning and laughed...I had to scrape my windshield.  I

This past weekend was the 3 day demo event.  I went Friday and it was in the 60's...I kept thinking Saturday was going to be in the 70's but it was in the 40's.  My wife said that earlier in the week it said 70's.  Sunday it snowed at the event... Good reason for them to pack it in early

My sump pump ran all day yesterday. Incidentally, the course near my house has a new island green. Gonna need a boat to get there, though.

Something tells me the course by your house looks a little different than this island green with a boat...

And you'd be right. It looks a bit more like this:7891720-3x2-940x627.jpg

I didn't take an actual picture because I was driving.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      My Swing (billchao)

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
