Freezing rain advisory today.  My deck is covered in small hail and it's not looking good.   I did play 18 last Thursday though in 70º weather.   

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Not that unusual here. 2 hours east of here yesterday, there was a blizzard. Meanwhile, in Denver, we had a chilly day and a bit of snow, but nothing terrible.

That's not unusual for us, though. Mountains make the weather really volatile, and volatile over short distances to boot.

No mountains here.

Usually at most we are 5-10 degrees apart.

No, I get it. The front is just going to be between Erie and Pittsburgh. Probably doesn't happen much because you don't have a weather influence like the mountains. So it's more unusual to have temperature swings in short distances like that.

Was your wind off the water? This can happen in Boston and the Cape with an east wind. It can be 80 in Worcester and 50 in Boston.

Got in the car this morning and laughed...I had to scrape my windshield.  I

This past weekend was the 3 day demo event.  I went Friday and it was in the 60's...I kept thinking Saturday was going to be in the 70's but it was in the 40's.  My wife said that earlier in the week it said 70's.  Sunday it snowed at the event... Good reason for them to pack it in early

My sump pump ran all day yesterday. Incidentally, the course near my house has a new island green. Gonna need a boat to get there, though.

Something tells me the course by your house looks a little different than this island green with a boat...

And you'd be right. It looks a bit more like this:7891720-3x2-940x627.jpg

I didn't take an actual picture because I was driving.

      The Stack Wedge System

      By Ty_Webb ·

      This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By saevel25 ·

      I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By p1n9183 ·

      Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
