It's the winter weekend over again.  Just in time for my weekend tee time, it snows/sleets today. 

There goes my 10 AM tee time tomorrow.  Ugh!

We got it a few hours after you. It seems relentless.

We just got back to Montana after a 4 month stint in Yuma and having played 3x/week.  Had to switch from shorts and T-shirts to jeans and coats when we got to SLC. While we missed the brunt of it, we still have a solid month+ of cold weather ahead.  On my list this season is The Old Works course in Anaconda.

Its projected to be reaching plus double digits Celc by Friday finally. This means mat driving ranges might open for next week.  There isnt too much snow to melt so hopefully that helps. Its basically just been too cold.

For the courses though that want to do proper maintenance, I think late April is still the start most expect.

Brutal winter.  We've had snow on the ground since October 20.  Probably still close to a foot of snow on the ground on average.  Things are looking up though.  Predicted highs above freezing every day in the forecast.  Just need to get those lows above freezing now and we can start thinking about golf.

MAnaged to get out for 9 holes Sunday. It was cold at the start and colder at the end but not too bad. Wind was killer and distance was horrible. Not really ideal golf weather but it was something...

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

First tournament this weekend, and the forecast is for about 50 degrees and 20 mph winds. That could be really brutal. I'm hoping the winds end up calming down, because 50 degrees is perfectly fine for golf. Of course, we've had this tournament snowed out a couple of times recently, so just being able to play will be an improvement over that.

As I type this, it's been snowing steadily, though not heavily through the afternoon. Enough so that the ground is now covered, again! But there's some good news in the forecast, like 60's and 70's by the weekend. Of course, in this area of the country, warm Spring temps usually means rain! So, we're no closer to playing than we were before!

I drove a little over an hour south to a "warmer" location.

      Golf Tips for Hitting Longer Driver (Tips for Both Men and Women)

      By Wilkerson Allen ·

      Hi everyone, I'm looking to improve my driving distance. I’ve been playing golf for a few years now, and while my accuracy has gotten better, I’m still struggling to get the distance I want off the tee. I play regularly with both men and women, so any advice that applies to both would be fantastic. For some context, I’ve tried adjusting my stance and swing, but I feel like I might be missing some key golf techniques or drills. Has anyone here successfully increased their driving distance? What specific tips or changes worked for you? Whether it's about grip, posture, swing mechanics, or even mental approach, I’m open to all suggestions! Looking forward to hearing your experiences and advice! Thanks!

      I don't know… The TaylorMade Tiger Woods grinds were decent. I like narrow soles with a lot of bounce (lots of camber) and good heel/toe relief.

      Day 33 (3 Jun 24) - In between working on my bass guitar and its wiring issues, I was able to take the putter and roll some putts on the carpet in the shop.  Spent time with the lead arm as I usually putt with it tucked close  and then doing the lead arm chicken wing.  Interesting how the feel and pace is different.  Had seen a fellow golfer using it last week when we were playing.  Overall it was good to do an easy day of putting for pace and overall distance control from 10' in.
