Playing golf in -32F. I wanna see a European Tour version of this!

 

I love their accents. Minnesotans have the friendliest accent.

The winter in central NC has not been too cold, but it has been extremely wet and grey. The dormant course is looking very beat down, and ugly. Due to the rain, and wet conditions, I've probably played less this winter than recent winters.

Nice day. Went to course. 1.5 hour wait. Went to range. Full. Sucks.

Gotta schedule those tee times... 😄

I’m tired having to plan every... single... thing... because densely populated area.

I hear ya.  In agreement.  In the best of all possible worlds we should be able to walk right onto the golf course.  I actually do that but I backtime when groups go off the front (7:30ish) and then I show up 1.5 hours later to play the back 9.  Most days they can accommodate me and I zip around in about an hour or so with nobody in front of me.  And I get to be on a first name basis with the entire greenskeeping crew since they've already moved over to the back 9 by the time I get there.

That is why I didn’t bother. Practiced at home instead.

Played yesterday. Cart path only. I'm sick of mud.

So. Move to a less populated area, and maybe struggle to make a living. But the golf will probably be cheaper, and more open!

I grew sick of mud a few years back. I told my buddies to not call me until the courses have dried out. Of course they still call me, and I still get the itch. We were supposed to go Sunday, but my buddy texted that he had ginched up his neck and couldn't swing a club. I half expected our other buddy to call, but he never did. So Sunday, I go outside about 1PM to look at the weather. It's beautiful! Bright warm Sun on my face! Then I walk out to where I can feel the wind.

Holy crap! It got 15* colder in an instant! The wind was coming out of the West at a pretty good clip!

It's looking like late March / early April here in SW Ohio before it will be golfable. Snowmageddon approaches...

I'm heading to FL a week from Thursday for a week, so hopefully it will start improving soon after I get back.

I went out yesterday, place was packed.  It was a Monday and we had a good laugh because mid season on an 80 degree perfect weather day in July the parking lot will have 10 cars in it.

Didn't really care if I played but the guys felt like it.  No drive carts either which made it even more amazing.  I’ve never seen a millennial walk and carry a golf bag.

Huh?

Did you somehow not notice how warm it was this weekend? Damn near 50 degrees and sunny!

I played Saturday and would have played Sunday if it were not this particular time of the year. Actually really should have taken the Sunday off.

Too cold for me, especially when the courses are muddy AND covered with goose 💩.

I brought my Harley home from Winter storage Sunday and rode it a bit, but I was bundled up like an Eskimo.

It’s supposed to be in the mid sixties and sunny on Monday. I think I feel a cold coming on 🤒🤧⛳️

[Buckeyebowman]

We were going to try to get out Sunday for nine. One friend is a FedEx driver and he called me today saying he didn't think he was going to go. In some places he delivers, he is forced to walk across a lawn. He said he was slipping, sliding, and sinking every time. It's early March, and usually conditions around here are still sloppy in mid-April. And I really hate not being able to find a drive that I hit in the fairway!

Today, Toronto maximum temperature is 9℃ .

Tomorrow will 7℃ - 13℃.

Spring is coming, 

[bkuehn1952]

Winter is over here in the Frozen Mitten.  Yes, we might get some more snow but the temperatures are rising and the sun is high enough so no snow will last long.  Played 18 on Saturday after attending the 2020 Golf Show with a couple thousand other golf starved individuals.

Bring on the Spring Depression thread!😉

Played 18 in a short sleeve shirt yesterday. Playing another 18 today.
