No official news yet for my tournament.

But if it is cancelled, I will be looking for an open course to play, at least in the early afternoon.

If it goes forward and you need in a 9 handicap to fill in, just hit me up ...

[Yukari]

Well as expected, tomorrow's tournament is canceled due to snow.  AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!

I hope some of the courses are open for play tomorrow.  I am just itching to get out.

I'm probably going to try to find a course mid/late morning to play, so I'll let you know if I find an open one.

No snow but 32 f'n degrees this morning... This is not the way spring should be...high of 51... I hate this kind of weather.

I think I have played in shorts one time this year so far...

Nice area.   Got a net and heater?

Well, it's that time of the year again. 

I had a tee time this morning but was cancelled due to a white blanket covering the course. 

I'm hoping it melt enough today to be able to get a round in tomorrow.

Ladies and gentleman,

I, like many of you are suffering from not being able to golf in the snow at this time of year. What do you guys do to keep sharp during the 2-3 months that we aren't able to hit the course so we arn't backtracking on the progress we made this year. I've been putting on my hardwood floors and setting up chip shots in my living room. Started by landing the ball in the middle of the couch cushion. Then moved to chipping into the paper shredder bin (10 ish inches long and 6 ish inches wide.) then chipping over the ottoman into the shredder bin. What kind of things are you gents going? 

[paininthenuts]

I use the driver in my front room and aim the ball at my wife. That may sound extreme to you, but in reality I can't hit a fairway on a regular basis, so I think the wife is pretty safe 

[Club Rat]

Use indoor hitting facilities at home or workplace (a small perk when you own your own business)
Video often on priority pieces or moves/motions of your swing or chip shots, pitching technique or even indoor putting.

Just swing a club to maintain rhythm and flexibility during the off season.

Good thing or you'd probably be a Goner, Adios Amigo .....

For those of you practicing indoors, trust me when I say it is not a good idea to take a divot in the carpet. 

[Buckeyebowman]

It got really cold, really quick around here. Looks like it's the golf dome for now! Still, a good place to swing the sticks when there's no other alternative.

I am surprised that you, as a retiree, don't take a couple trips south.
