I hear you brother - kids are on spring break here which is nice, except it has snowed the last 3 days (1-2" Sat, dustings Sun/Mon), though I guess I shouldn't complain as it "only" went down to 19° here last night.
I was hoping to get out and play at least once this week, but the courses would have to reopen for that to happen

Players play, tough players win!

Snow is not usual for us in April, but the cold air is. It was 15F today when I got to work at 5:45AM.

It's a killer! When golf comes back on the tube early in the year with the California swing, the tourney that always gets me horny for golf is Pebble Beach. I've watched it since it was the Crosby Clambake!

That one really gets the ache in the heart started. At least we have a golf dome here now so we can go swat balls over the Winter, but it's not really playing.

Oddly enough, I've been able to play 72 holes in March in NE Ohio this year, which is pretty much a doggone miracle! But, it always snows in April, and it snowed 4 days ago. And we're forecast to get 3-4 inches over the weekend. Well, I'll spend that watching TV. It's Masters week!

It's supposed to be around 50* so I'm going to try to get 18 in.  I took a look at the long range forecast for Long Island, I don't see any days in the 60's so no sense waiting.

My team is playing a tournament on Saturday and Sunday this week. The highs are supposed to be about 35° and 44° both days.

Needless to say I plan to stock up on Hot Hands hand warmers later today.

This weather is so not helping me get ready for my golf trip in 10 days :pound:

I am hoping to get out to the range at some point next week. I've been practicing my backswing with a mirror and putting indoors. 

My backswing should be SOLID with all the practice I've been doing :)

You know that as soon as you put a ball down, though, it's going to be tough to resist…

The rain turned into a legit blizzard by hole 5 still toughed it out and messed around for about 13 holes. It wasn't really too cold it hovered around 30 degrees but on my last couple holes it was coming down so hard I couldn't see the green from 150 out I felt like I was in one of those new Nike commercials the enjoy the chase or whatever the slogan is. Unfortunately looks like next Wednesday is the next day getting out will even be an option, but hey projecting highs in the 50s end of next week! Got a heat wave coming lol

Went sledding on Monday, golfing on Thursday, now it's snowing again... the weather's more manic than a girl I dated in college.

Ugly ugly forecast for the Denver and foothills area this weekend.  

3"-4" of rain or up to 30" of snow if the temps drop enough...

      Would You Rather…?

      By WillieT ·

      For me it would be opt 1 , even though it’s a watching it slip away scene.  I believe it was Brando who lamented at the end of Streetcar Named Desire that he could’ve been a contender….would I be like @ChetlovesMer’s friend?  I hope not, but to know that for a moment I was giving the  win a run for the money would be a great memory…

      2025 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Sammydreep ·

      After a bit of a lean spell managed to birdie stroke hole one, long par five. Ball striking best it’s been for a while short game exactly the opposite. Had so many opportunities to post good scores last three or four games, failed miserably😀

      Would You Rather…?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Would You Rather #69 For this question let's assume you are playing whatever tournament is important to you.  Would you rather finish second in your tournament but be remembered for a huge mistake you make right at the end.  or  Would you rather play solidly in your tournament, but you still finish outside the top 25, and are never really in contention.  Incidentally, this happed to a friend of mine many years ago at the tournament I play every year. He was leading the tournament coming into the last hole, where he took two to get out of a greenside bunker and then three-putted his way to second place. He hasn't really been in contention again since.
