Just when Wpg was warming up, its going back down below freezing for a few days. I was able to do some pitching practise in my field by my house for the past 2 weeks.

I also am doing a staycation all next week and am hoping something opens up soon. Courses have opened late March/early Apr before.in the city.

Go play nine on Haleakala or Mauna Loa. :-P There is a course in Volcano on the big island that would probably be the coolest weather you could play at. We didn't play there but had lunch. It's at 4000 ft or so.

New England is doing it again. Two days this week were around 70F. Sunday into Monday, snow. :pound:

Was able to get out and play 9 holes on the 13th and 27th of March. So far, those were the only days the weather co-operated in my neck of the woods. It's now April 2nd, and by looking at the weather forecast, it doesn't look too good for the next 10 days or so either.

In another bit of unheard of weather up here, 70 degrees on Thursday, I was able to fit in another 18 in.

Holy cow, hurricane winds, raining ICE PELLETS, HAIL, RAIN AND SNOW outside right now.  Honestly, it doesn't get any more miserable than this.

My league play starts Thursday.  Forecast says low temp of 28 degrees.  Envision lots of clothing, long-johns, a swing-restricting jacket, winter golf gloves, ski cap and a 50 (or worse) on the card. Personally, I just can't golf in cold weather.  At all.  Ugh.  Ohio sucks.  It really does.

I thought that to be funny too! The Sox rarely start the season at home, but Cleveland doesn't have much better April weather either!

At least the Sox and Indians can pretend to know what it's like to play in cooler, October-like weather.

Karma's gonna get me for that one. Sorry, I don't usually rag on someone else's sports team. I'm just not myself... kind of moody...  must be due to ALL THIS #$%&& SNOW ON THE GROUND!!!!

We have snow on the ground in Mid-Michigan with real feel temps in the single digits!   Golf weather isn't  projected until the end of the month!   At least you have sunshine.   The great lakes almost eliminate sunshine for us.   We live in the land of perpetual cloudiness.

I played down in Farmington Hills two weeks ago and the weather was good. Had high hopes of an early opening season up here in Northern Michigan. But with what we're getting right now and more snow on the way mid-week, that won't be the case.

      2026 U.S. Open

      By saevel25 · Posted

      The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.
