Yeah, I opened my window to about 3 inches of snow on the ground, but even as it's still snowing, more and more ground is peeking through. Snow is fighting a losing battle with angle of insolation these days.

I heard it snowed in NYC, too.

Guess it's going to be tough to play next weekend when I'm home for Easter. :censored:

It'll have disappeared by tomorrow.

Yes, the snow today has been inconsequential and will be gone by tomorrow. I anticipate the course being open tomorrow, and me being on it.

Somehow I doubt I will score well, considering 1) I suck at golf, 2) this is my first round of the season, and 3) the course conditions will not be ideal.

But I will try to have fun and shoot something in the 90s at least.

Where are you playing?

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
