Same here now. My picture was from 3 hours ago. :) Can't see the tops of any blades of grass. Complete coverage.

40° tomorrow, 58° Thursday.

No snow here, but having just had the flu, I have missed a week of being able to play or even practice.  I feel like I just can't win this year. :pound:

After a few days in the upper 60s and lower 70s, it's lower 60s and raining here today. Supposed to be 40s and lower 50s the rest of the week and weekend.

Low of 15 f'n degrees tonight. I was hoping to play Thursday... 30% chance of snow might as well be 100% with our track record.

I thought surely I was done with this thread for the year but it is certainly NOT golfing weather today. :pound:

Not snowing like some of you guys have, but it might as well be. In fact if it was snowing at least I could make some snow ice cream or go sledding or something.

Hasn't felt much like "Bama" for a long time. :-D

Many more of these winters and I may have to migrate farther south.

We are still about 3 to 3 1/2 weeks from opening day but some downstate courses are open so hopefully going to be playing my first round of the year next week...finally. One round next week will at least hold me over till our course opens.

Yeah I can't even imagine a Northern Wisconsin winter. At least you can go snowmobiling for a long time. I really got into ice fishing when I lived in Northern Missouri.

If you've got lemons make lemonade. :-D

Its been nice here in Denver the past month or so. I went and played my first round of the season last weekend!!!

But the other day it cold got and snowed a few inches, but it quickly melted. Back to 70s this weekend.

My friend who lives in Chicago, they had about 24" of snow on the ground just a few weeks ago. His private golf club just opened up on Monday finally.

But yes this year has been brutal winter for most of the middle and northeast states.

    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
