At this point, I have come to consider the following purchase:

Maybe not the most logical solution, but there's a certain visceral satisfaction to be had.

@jakepalm I was fine until Saturday. I was wore out clearing the snow and I took 2 steps on the slanted roof towards the ladder to go back down and whamo it hit me.

@LuciusWooding that would be fun idea but from experience, not something that would be time effective.

Whew I did it! Halfway decent job of blowing snow. We are pretty much down to one lane on my road though...

Haha.  I saw a lot of that up in Worcester this weekend.  There was about a foot of snow on the ground from the week before, then we got about a food Thursday, another 4-6 on Saturday, and I think they were predicting another 8 for yesterday or today.  Its really impressive how quickly they clean the streets up there.

Back in DC it was in the 50s yesterday and is again today.  Not bad golf weather except for the foot of snow on the ground.

Well that 4-7 inches just turned into about 7-10 inches. I mean come on, being a weatherman is the only job where you can be wrong and get away with it. They shouldn't make predictions, just say "it'll snow" and ill figure out the rest when its over. I felt my right arm big time on that last snowblow and I am hoping when its all over I can still swing a club.

We got a bunch more than expected in New Brunswick too. I didn't know we were getting any at all so waking up to 20 CM was surprising.

I mean I do get excited for the warmer temps and what not, but still, there is A LOT of snow on the ground. Who knows when it will all be gone and the clubs and outdoor ranges will start opening up again.

66 in Winston-Salem, NC, and last week's snow is melting. I've been watching the Red Sox spring training report, and have enjoyed seeing the sunshine and palm trees. When we were in Boston a few years ago, I said I would like to live there if I could stand the winters, and the people I talked to told me how mild the winters had been. I'm glad I didn't listen to them!

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.
    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 
    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
    • Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm. 
    • Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
