Yeah, I wish we had more in the local mountains. It's been over three years since we had anything at all. Thus, I am golfing.

If we were on a skiing forum, I would be one of the people crying about the lack of even any packed powder (Called ice anywhere else).

The skiing equivalent of @David in FL would be telling me that a round trip fare to Salt Lake is only $ and to stop complaining. :-D

First day out at home course and even though the course wasn't in great shape, it was nice to be out there.

Just saw on Facebook that Cyprian Keyes, one of my favorite courses in the area, is opening on Friday. The course conditions pretty much everywhere are probably a few weeks away from me wanting to spend that kind of cash on a round though.

I hear you. I'm in Michigan and in a similar boat. They said some of the municiple courses are opening, but I'm hesitant to go even though they're cheap...And, damn it, we're supposed to get freezing rain tomorrow anyway.

As far as MA goes, I got to get out at the Meadows at Peabody yesterday, 20$ for 9 with cart (which was shocking)... It was damp in spots, but really not too bad, not as bad as I expected, and I only saw one 2x2 patch of snow in a shaded bunker.  All regulations greens and tees... The depression may be lifting.

its not my club anymore owners wanted my salary for themselves. but they are opening this weekend not sure what the rate will be.

That's a beautiful course, but without a superintendent how are they going to keep the course maintained?

I would imagine that a mediocreintendent could keep it somewhat sufficiently maintained?  Perhaps even a betterthanaveragebutnotquitesuperintendent will keep it in really good condition? :-P

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By 4zim ·

      I’ve recently started KBs too and really enjoy it. I have one day of armour building complex and one day of a mobility routine. Adding in a speed training day too.    which routines do you do @Elmer

      My Swing (billchao)

      By 4zim ·

      Again, I’m not an expert so take it with a grain of salt My question is whether laying back even further becomes too conservative and that strategy is suboptimal as a result? Essentially what’s the cost of guaranteed longer second shot vs the x% risk for hitting the bunker? I think the optimal way to answer the question is looking at strokes gained, in consideration of the hazards and penalties, and picking the strategy that maximizes SG off the tee. I’ve seen some apps that do this but I’m not sure how accurate they are.   And again, asking all this so I can learn what I should be doing in these situations rather than questioning your approach Bill. I would give an example of the course I’m joining this year where I plan to aim at the bunker, but I don’t want to take over your swing thread any further!

      What @DeadMan said. From the satellite it looks like there's tall grass to the right, long of the fairway post-dog-leg. But left it just looks like regular rough all the way to the neighboring tee boxes. If that's true I'm aiming left edge of the green and bombs away every time, hoping for a 30-70 yard up and down opportunity.

      What's the case against blasting a driver at the green? I'm guessing it puts the penalty area/fescue too much into play, but if that's just standard rough around the green, there would be a good case for it. If it's not driver, then I agree with your approach. The one thing I would add is to shade your aim towards the bunkers vs. center of the fairway. Hitting out of a bunker is (marginally) better than a penalty drop.

      Yes, if you are gonna layup, then layup. No need to nickle and dime a few extra yards and bring bunker back into play.
