Will focus on filming my swing indoors and waiting for March golf trip.

Bloody ceilings in the house are too low for that.

Best I can do is putt on the carpet in the garage or brave the elements and clobber snow balls to kingdom come. Might work better if I dug out my ice skates.

We're supposed to get 9-12" on Sunday. Oh well. I've got my net set up ready if it warms enough. I also bought a cheap mat for the gym at work it hit foam balls.

Cry me a river Mr. Southern California.  😉 You can use the rain anyway.

No snow in NYC, but nasty, rainy day. Temps set to plummet. Salt spreaders going wild. Time to break out the Musher's Secret for the dog.

Low ceilings? I don't know what you're talking about.

Opted to practice outside today instead of inside tomorrow. Availability of practice times indoors filling up quickly where I am. Wondering if that's the New Year resolution people, or more people knowing about the practice facility, or something that I just didn't notice last year.

Snow on the ground and more snow expected tonight and tomorrow.

Sigh!  No golf for a while.

I am out there playing unless it is -30 or worse.

The record low temperature in Bellingham is -2 f  or -19 c (per Wikipedia).  When was the last time you played in -29 weather and where was it?

Look to the left at my icon photo. That was -40 degrees. I was being facetious. 😁

This morning really sucked.  The entire car was frozen in a block of ice. Took 30 minutes extra just to get the thing on thawed and on the road. I also would have thought the city could have made better use of all that tax money I pay them and gotten the roads better sorted.

But, I'm feeling optimistic.

Generally, in this area, we'll get one or two mornings a year where the air temperature will be below zero. The odds of this happening again are pretty low. It's just going to get warmer from here.

Wow, really strong winds today. Despite the meager 14mph report, the balls are moving 20 degrees to 40 degrees left on my home range... 🤪😂🤪

Feels more like 40mph gusts...

Well.  I guess I will go snowboarding this weekend since the courses will likely to be closed due to snow.

More snow expected tomorrow.  Looks like January is a total bust for golf.  On the other hand, nice new power for snowboarding.

      Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff.

      Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.

      Wordle Daily Puzzle

      First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
