Well by now most, if not all of you cold, winter living  folks have immerged from your golf hibernation.

I'd like wish you all a speedy restart, and tune up for your golf games. 

May you all be playing in 70*F to 90*F temps soon. 👍

 

The course usually open in beginning of May but we have a lot of flooding in the area and a couple of course is hit by that so opening is postpone 1-2 week there. I will try to have my first game of the year in the first week of May, if I can squeeze a round somewhere!

Well, ugh. We've had a rain/snow mix the past day or so, and it sucks. I have the day off tomorrow, but it's probably 50/50 on whether I'll be able to play. There isn't a ton of snow cover anywhere, but enough to where courses are closed. I also have a tournament on Saturday, but that will probably be okay. I've had horrible luck this year on my Friday days off. I've been able to play only a couple of times on those days. Not cool.

I know what you mean. I have a tee time tomorrow afternoon at Fossil Trace, but I doubt the course will be open by then.  I also have a tee time on early Saturday morning, but even that is looking iffy.  Unless this snow melts fast tomorrow (the weather forecast indicates not likely), no golf until may be after I come back from a business trip next week. 

Ugh!

There is close to zero accumulation downtown, so further east will definitely be okay Saturday morning. There really isn't that much on the west side of town at this point, so I think Saturday will probably be okay. Depends on when this stops, but I think that's supposed to be relatively soon?

It's funny, though, I saw that someone else and had posted in this thread, and knew immediately it was you. Like clockwork, we're on here complaining in the spring, haha.

Well it's too late (except for A-basin) in the season for 🏂, so nothing to do but complain about the spring snow.

Cheers! 🍺

Pretty lame start of the season for me so far. 18 of the last 22 days have had some sort of rain and it always seems to coincide with whatever day I have available to play golf.

I feel your pain...   I've played 6 times this year and  two years ago, I had twice that many.    It's either rainy or too cold still.    We booked a tee time at Sheperd's Hallow, a very nice course near me for Monday.    Last week's forecast for Monday was 62 and sunny.   Now the forecast is rain and a high of 48°.   

In April, we had 16 days of rain or snow.   So far in the first 9 days of May, we've had 6 days of rain. and 8 of the next 13 days are predicted for rain.  

Movin' south...!

I’ve played 3 times in the rain this year. Best thing is the courses are empty!

I played in a lot of rain last year, not exactly excited to repeat that.

I need a cart that holds an umbrella and rain gear. It's on my list.

It is miserable that it rains every weekend here on Long Island. Here is hoping the course is playable Sunday.

I set my alarm, woke up before it went off, heard the rain hitting my window, and went back to sleep.

I probably would have gone out anyway but they changed the forecast from periods of clouds and rain to straight rain until 2PM. Can't win with this weather.

This spring has been the wettest, coldest, and cloudiest I remember. Yesterday was beautiful, but I didn't play. Other than that the only nice days have been on Mondays and Tuesdays, and work tends to get in the way. All the courses are in awful shape. I hope they get better weather for the PGA next week, but I doubt it.

Last year sucked, too, even into the summer. I played in a lot of wet conditions and rain last year.

I'm kind of in the same boat. Yesterday was gorgeous and I was busy. Today I have time for 36 holes and am going to play exactly zero. When I do have the opportunity during the week, I run into tee time issues with the 9-hole course by me due to leagues.

Heard the forecast isn't looking good.

So I am in NJ and had a tee time this morning at 10 AM at Royce Brook GC.  Woke up and it was raining.  Like you, I checked the forecast, and it says rain through the day.

My buddy with whom I was suppose to golf today, calls and says he's not playing.

No matter where I go, this winter has not been kind to my golf schedule.

Went out yesterday at 7 am. 41* and it started raining lightly.
Played the front and at the turn, I told my buddies "sorry but I better call it a day before rigamortis sets in" 
My hands were numb, knees and back became stiff, not my idea of a fun day of golf.

Although I hated to leave good company, I elected to grab some breakfast and warm the old bones.
The rain continued and it became a bit heavier as the day went on.
But my buddies finished an hour and a half later.

So what you're saying is, it's all your fault?!? 😜

    • I would say your back nine is the second nine you play that day. It's part of what makes getting some of those holes tougher. Or, if 18 holes are played pretty often, out of A, B, and C, and you often play A and C, A is the front and C is the back, regardless of the order you play them in. That way not birdieing C #7 isn't overcome by birdieing the easier A #7 on a day you played it C-A instead of A-C. But, at the end of the day, nobody really cares except yourself.
