very similar here as well, just got done building my Wife a pantry in the kitchen and built my children a window seat in their rooms.  I also at least twice a week hit wiffle ball golf balls with a PW in my bedroom...I can get a full swing and it's all about muscle memory for me at this time of the yr...been so cold here in Pa the last few days I couldn't think of doing anything like that outside lol

I haven't been following the weather real closely, but those of you in the Northeast have gotten hammered this year while much of it has passed south of us (Northern Michigan). We're supposed to get another 8" during the next few days however.

Regular snowfall and cold temperatures with no end in sight; It's like the movie Groundhog Day.

Not as bad as Boston but pretty much the same result golf-wise.

So depressing because my friends are doing a golf getaway to Myrtle Beach the Thur-Sun. after St. Patrick's Day and my work life won't allow me to go.

If they were really your friends, they'd have waited for you. :cry:

I was able to get out and play 9 (42/+6) on Saturday and 18 (83/+11) on Sunday. So I got my golf fix for a while. In the meantime, time to work on key #1 some more.

Whenever I get too down about the snow I just googlesearch this:

For perspective, that's actually a 10 story tall house.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands
