My course was still closed over the weekend even though there was no snow left anywhere in Philly and the temperature was close to 60 both days. Fortunately I was invited to play at another local course and we had a great day. Don't even know what my score was, I was just happy to walk the course and hit shots on a nice track. Got a little tired the last 3-4 holes; don't have my golf legs. That usually takes me a couple of rounds when the real season starts.

Guess I should have started a "Back surgery depression" thread since I didn't get to play at all part year thanks to surgery last May, but the back is ready to go now (hopefully) and the temps are up to the 40s and the course is open, so it's go time!

Weather was pretty decent today so I took advantage of it to give my new Cobra Flyz driver a test drive. I only hit about 20 balls with it but was very impressed with how forgiving it seems to be. My driving with it seemed to be very accurate and it appears to give me more yardage than my old Ping G2 driver but I won't know for sure until I get to the course.

Well I believe winter is beginning to lose it's grip on those of us who live up North. The weather today got up in into the upper 50's so I took advantage of it. I took a shag bag full of balls to one of the local parks and began by working on some short pitch shots and short chip shots. That seemed to go well so next I tried out my new Cobra bio cell adjustable hybrid which I set to 20.5 degrees of loft. All I can say is this hybrid blew me away. What a sweet club this seems to be. I hit some tee shots with it and then hit shots off the deck with it. This is the first time I have had to give this or any other hybrid a chance. Every shot I hit with it was a beauty. I can't wait to use this at the course. This just might become my favorite club in my bag.

Played 9 holes over the weekend, which was by far the earliest I have played a round.

The course was in pretty good shape too.  But of course now it is raining/snowing in Colorado...

WooHoo. Took a drive over to one of the local courses today. The grounds crew is working on getting the course ready for opening day.

Don't worry!  It's gonna be in the 60s again this weekend.  Just in time for another snow storm.

Here is the clip I referred to in the previous post, skip to 35:00 and set yourself to "cringe"...

I happened to find the "previous post" you referred to... in a different thread.   I'm not sure why the kid and (especially) her dad are crying over something that they already fixed.  I guess they're expecting the kid to reach the LPGA and were crying at the thought that she'd have to get a *gasp* regular job!?

Back on-topic, the weather in Central NY is beautiful.  I got to the range yesterday and hit some balls.  Pretty good results for the first time out.  I'm happily sore in all the right places.

Hmm... maybe I posted here by accident. Weird. I'll ask to have it moved. It was strange behavior and kind of uncomfortable watching the guy.

The dad was just remembering when he was a lad and found out that he couldn't play on the LPGA. :)

Got to play yesterday.  Near 70, lots of sun and gale force winds!  Have been really jonesing to hit the new clubs.  They did well, for the most part.  Just enjoyed the round immensely.  Fairways decent, greens bad because they haven't been rolled and certainly aren't growing early March in NE Ohio.  But is was really nice to get out and hit the ball around.

Saturday weather supposed to be mid-60s as well.  Have an email out to a bunch of guys to see who might want to play this weekend.

Ping G30 driver
Ping G Fairway woods - 5 and 7 woods
Callaway X-Hot #5 hybrid; Old school secret weapon

The courses in my neck of the woods aren't open yet. Yet I got out today to drive some balls with two different 3 woods to see which one performed better. The first 3 wood I tried was my Callaway Big Bertha adjustable 3 wood. I hit some balls with it using different adjustments. It seemed to work OK, yet I wasn't completely satisfied with it, simply because I know I can do better. Next I hit some balls with my Adams Supper S Speedline 15 degree fixed loft 3 wood. This Adams 3 wood performed significantly better than the Callaway Big Bertha for me. It out performed the Callaway in distance as well as accuracy and feel. And most interesting of all is the fact that the Adams 3 wood was half the cost of the Callaway Big Bertha.

Mother Nature just gave Boston a giant middle finger. First full day of spring and we have 5 to 8 inches of snow. Courses were open already! :pound:

Hop in your car and drive west across I-90 and come to Buffalo and play some golf. No snow here. Yes, some courses are open here.
