The forsythias are starting to bloom and the turf website says this is the optimum time to spread the crabgrass prevention. No golf for me this morning.

We'll see if they show up, but it will be some kick in the nuts to get 4 dozen golf balls with over a foot of snow on the ground.

They showed up today. Still at least a foot of snow on the ground. We ended up with 22 inches. Woof. The forecast is good, though, so I should be fine to get at least some golf in next week.

I just want to get out to the range.  There are some heated ranges but they tend to fill up and even with the heater if wind is blowing in the wrong direction it can be rugged.  Right now it is 32 degrees (That's 0 for you Celsius people) and "feels like" 25 so not going today.

Heading to NW Ohio this Saturday and the guys were hoping to get a round in while the ladies did a baby shower but I think we will be looking for a heated range instead.  It is supposed to get  up to 42 on Sat. and I don't see us golfing.

I think we may hit the 50's on Easter Weekend.

I can see how standing "still" for an hour on a range would get pretty chilly. I walked 18 holes today starting at 2pm. A bit of a breeze and 36 degrees but it was sunny in the Peoples Republic of Ann Arbor. Very comfortable.

You will need to either drive an electric car or ride a bike to enter our city. The avatar is fine based on the past 3 years. We do not recognize sports history prior to 2021.

If I were you I would try to block out those prior years as well, but you can't change history BUT YOU CAN REPEAT IT.  You will not be so cocky after Nov. 30, 2024.

I was forced to wear a 1/4 zip. And to add, I have yet to wear long pants this year, I bought some but didn't need them.

You must be the only guy in Michigan, every other car, or big ass RV, I get behind has Michigan plates on it.  The other ones have Ohio plates.

You did hear our governor annexed your state?   It's now Michigan - South (almost like Columbus)   🤣

 

There are even transplants in Merritt Island from Michigan!

      The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.
