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.

They're not even married yet and she's already making ridiculous demands? He's done for ;-)

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
