Where are you at?

Metro-west/Framingham, MA area.  Not sure how @boogielicious made out closer to the city... 

My home course in northern CT was closed all weekend, but some other friends in central/southern CT said most we're still open with just some rain.

For our golfing brethren up north, we stand with you against the cold and await the return of good weather:

I am not sure either but I didn't hear any lamenting about it. My buddy in NY sent me a pic of dry and sunny on Saturday so maybe is was just up here.

There's one in every group.

Have hit the slopes a few times up there in NH, but never golf.  Closest is probably the annual scramble I play over in Portland at Sable Oaks...always a beautiful/fun track for the few good months they have haha.  Anyway, hope the snow melts quick for ya!

Ha thanks. I like Sable, my buddy that lives in Portland was a member last year. Back 9 kills me every time though...

Where are you at? We have 8 inches possible forecasted for tomorrow and I bet money we get 8 or 10.

Well you do live in the White Mountains! You should have lived in the Green Mountains. :-P

We got mostly rain, then a bit of snow. It's all but melted now. But just north of us, where all the courses I play are, it snowed 5 or 6".

We have a front coming in on Thursday but they are unsure of how much snow it will bring. I'm still planning on playing Friday with a playing partner. (I may finally have a legitimate round to post)

That really sucks. It's all rain down on here on the seacoast. I'm hoping it will melt the majority of the snow that's left.

It's rain an hour south of me too.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

My backyard still looks like winter but I am playing at a course a little over an hour from my house tomorrow!!! :dance:

You should come up to the The Oaks and meet us @boogielicious for the morning tee time!

Not yet. I am getting PT on my elbow. I have bicep tendinitis that came on during the last round of shoveling. Hope to get out next week.

How was it looking? That's my favorite course within 20 minutes of the house and where I keep my GHIN.  I'm playing The Ledges in York, ME tomorrow. Same designer as The Oaks I believe, and only 10 minutes from my house, but somehow I've never played there.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.

      7 Wood

      By ZenShot ·

      I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
