True, but it still sucks.

Does all this precipitation make for delayed course openings?

Our course will be closed until the snow goes away, for sure.

On the bright side, I'm not working today. Not sure about tomorrow, will see how much shoveling I have to do.

The recent snows were heavier, more water. Gotta protect the back - shovel carefully.

I just went out and shoveled around the vehicles, the wet snow has been melting and making a pond beside the cars.  Had to make a path for the water to drain away.  It was almost up over my shoes.

Metro NYC, on the whole, this winter hasn't been too bad in terms of snow and low temps, other areas (Erie, cough cough) might say otherwise.

A long standing tradition around here is the St. Patrick's Day blizzard! This wasn't exactly that, 5" of snow here, but some counties south of us got 9"+. So I guess it was for them!

Preferred outdoor range is finally open. No more below freezing overnights.

Spring (real spring) is coming.

Been going to the range all winter, something I've never done. Swing is feeling great. Weather is starting to look more optimistic, golf season is finally approaching.

Annnnnd I break my ankle playing hockey and will be out at a minimum until June. Very sad.

Oh man, what a drag. So sorry to hear but be careful you don't try too much too soon.

Its really starting to drag now. Lots of talk in the Prairies that we will miss the normal opening range by 3 weeks which is a decent chunk of one of the worlds shortest golf seasons?

Golf Canadas active season for the area is April 15th and its still -15ish today Cel (-4 Fahrenheit)

It snowed a bit today. I think late April is more likely now.

I awoke yesterday to a 2" blanket of snow! Today we had temps in the 60's, accompanied by a deluge! A line of thunderstorms just blasted through. Now the cold front will slide through and the rain will turn back into snow tomorrow! Oh, joy!

Just saw a weather update on the TV. Turns out the t-storms that went through aren't our last! Another line of them is out there and heading our way! How lovely!

We had rain, hail and snow today in mid-Michigan.   I'm not feeling the love from Spring.    Accuweather is saying that the third week in April should be good.

And that's the plan.

I'm not going to get a chance to sniff a golf ball for the next two weeks. Plenty of time for this stuff to sort itself out.

      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.
