We have a couple golf simulator places locally.  If you are feeling the urge it is a great place to ge with some buddies.  All then ones by be serve beverages, it's a great time.

 

I play year round in a golf league.  The indoor league is less about golf and more about hanging with your buddies but I always walk away with a big smile and it keeps my game in tune.

We are almost there!

One of the best indoor simulators clubhouse just burned down here... Plus I found that I had to spend almost a month or more in the spring fixing my golf swing after playing them over winters. I would rather do that than play pool though.

This was thrown on top of the mix....

I hate March for this reason. It taunts us with some nice weather then slaps us in the face.

I have not found that a simulator hurt my game quite the opposite.  The one I play is very accurate so you get good feedback.  If hitting off a mat messes you up there is nothing that can be done.

We got around 2 feet. We cleared 15" yesterday and have the rest to do today. Good news is I fly to Orlando this afternoon!

Is "False Spring" a recent term, or just another one of the many that I am ignorant of? Whatever, this false spring sucks.

No. If you're into gardening you would know it.

I hate when my allergies start flaring up late February.

There's a reason that March is called "the cruelest month"! March can be a tease. Local lore says that if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb. Well, it came in like a lion, and has been a lion ever since! We can't get out of this cold cycle. Usually you can expect a nicer day here and there, but not this year. Thankfully for the most part, the snow they predict every day has missed us. Still waiting on our "St. Patty's Day blizzard"! To make things worse the local "golf dome" collapsed under the weight of ice and snow deposited by an earlier storm, so there is no place to hit balls! Won't be able to do so until the outdoor ranges open.

Here in Western MA it's been snowing for days. Luckily, I have a snow plow and a mat in the drive with a 90yd wedge shot out to a cup and flag in the front yard. I plow and hit wedges, plow and hit wedges. Lately though, there's been no thaw so I can't retrieve the balls. I have a buddy though who gets buckets of balls dropped off by his friend who works at a golf course so I just keep stopping by to get more balls from him. Come the thaw, I'm going to collect about 4 spackle pails full of balls!

I'l always psycho this time of year but this season I joined a beautiful private course so my looniness is tenfold.

      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.

      By NHpro ·

      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.
