I'm really disappointed with the forecast.

Today's the best day of the week and I'm locked in the office. Its 50 degrees (albeit cloudy).

For my weekend, rain on Saturday and then the temperature drops into the 20s on Sunday.

Poop.

I know how you feel, it’s raining at least one day out of each weekend, and we were barely able to play only one round, go to the beach in the cold, grabbing one sunset before the rain came along...I mean look at those ominous looking clouds 😩

About to get hit by a bomb cyclone blizzard! Sounds like it could be really bad, so I'm hoping that posting here jinxes it.

Too late for me.

I'm locked in here. There is a commode in the corner of the room and they occasionally slid some food under the door.

Hi folks,

I'm in southern Quebec (shoot me now) and am dying to play.  So, anything open in the Boston, Hartford or Albany areas?  

Not Boston. We still have snow on the ground.

I can't think of a way to put the words bomb, cyclone, and blizzard together in any way that might indicate something good! Amazing how the weather folks keep coming up with new terminology.

They don't call March the "cruelest month" for nothing. Speaking of cruel, I was hiding in the basement for a while this evening during a tornado warning. After it was cancelled, I came back upstairs and got back online. I was sitting at the computer when I heard my cell phone just go crazy! I look at it, and it's the tornado warning that was issued at 8:48PM. It was 9:40PM by the time it rang through! Glad I had my TV on and heard the tornado sirens go off about an hour earlier!

Well.  That bomb cyclone definitely put a damper.  Good thing I had to leave the "path of destruction" for work.  I hope all that snow is gone by the time I get back.

I guess I've gotten so unbearable, I broke a lamp swinging in my living room, my wife is starting to look at weather reports to see when I can go play. 😏

I just got an email notification from Two Oaks North in Wautoma, WI. They will open for play Friday and Saturday (weather permitting), 3/22 & 3/23. We played there in February in 2018 and there were a few holes closed, some wet and muddy areas, but overall if you kept it in (or near) the fairway, it wasn't too bad. I expect about the same this weekend. Forecast is 42* and sunny Friday, and 51* and sunny on Saturday. You can check their website for details and contact info. I'd call ahead just to be sure.

Just received an email from a local Muni, Green Oaks.  They are open with carts available (although I suspect it could be cart path only).  Our corner of the Mitten is still very muddy and damp.  High temperatures are in the 40's and 50's.  Small snow piles remain where it was piled high or is sheltered from direct sun.

I am excited.  Thursday will be the day!  I do not know where but I will be on a course, walking 18.

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
