I did not play, but with no snow in the yard and temps in the 40s, I have been hitting in the backyard into a net. I am focused on drills and really don't want to spend $30/hr at a simulator. If this keeps up, I will get a lot of practice in.

That's what I've been doing as well except without the net. There's a still a lot of snow out there but as it recedes, I'm starting to find more and more golf balls out in the field. Good thing, I was running low.

We have what they're calling a "Rain Nor'Easter" right now. Weird to hear the term Nor'Easter not associated with a giant snowstorm but it's kind of like a tropical storm only it's winter. Apparently flooding is expected and the damage could actually be worse than if it snowed.

I was trying to translate it for non-New England folks. Try this one.

I have a sist'ah who lives in Worches'ah, which is near Leicest'ah. She caught a fevah cause she didn't put on a sweat'ah. God fabid she doesn't get the canc'ah. (old Steve Sweeney bit).

It is a giant snow storm, but luckily north of us! That is the cool thing about Nor'Easters. 20 miles can mean the difference between 2" of rain or 2 feet of snow.

A guy that works for me is a New Englander. He is teaching me the lingo. Like... I was getting ready to leave for work and couldn't find my khakis.

In New England, 6 inches of snow is a 'dusting'.

That is a reason I left (desparately) my former job that would have required frequent travel to places like Amherst and Watertown, NY and to that state north of Ohio. There is a good chance that I would have been relocated to Amherst. Nooooo thank you!

Californians kill me! They've been bitching about a drought for 4 or 5 years, and now that the back of the drought is broken, they're bitching about that! Ground water is being renewed, aquifers and reservoirs are being refilled. It's California for crying out loud! Take it while you can get it!

I was in the wine business for quite a while, and we entertained many California winery people here when they were out working the market. I had one gal ask me if we had a "rainy season". I told her, "Yes. It's called the calendar year!"

One year, we went out to California in February in what was a particularly vicious Winter here in NE Ohio. We're walking around in short sleeves enjoying the balmy air, and the natives did nothing but bitch about the wind!

I also heard a joke. How can you tell someone who lives in NoCal? They always have 5 changes of clothes in their car. Everything from short, sandals, and tank top, to snow pants, boots, and a parka!

Just got back from St. John USVI.   Everyone should have weather like that!   I didn't golf, just became a beach lizard.  82º every day.    That will help with the winter depression!

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

I was able to get out and play 9 this weekend. Shot a pretty respectable 41, on a course that was only really borderline playable on certain holes.

Highlight of the day - drew a sidehill lie on the first hole. Ground is still a bit frozen in this spot, but not terrible. Or so I thought. I completely ate it during the swing and fell ass-first into a pile of deer poop. I actually hit exactly the shot I wanted somehow, but it was pretty hilarious.

Well, for 4 out of the last 5 days we've been able to see the sun! That's quite an accomplishment around here in early February! It was 60 today but cloudy and it rained all day. The cold is coming back for a few days, but I think this Winter's back is broken! Hopefully it won't be too rainy of a Spring and we can get back on the courses early!

We had snow, rain and freezing rain in the last 24 hours. It will be 60 today. Tomorrow, we get a Nor'Easter and 8 to 14 inches followed by a cold weekend. I'm going to experiment and see if I can set up my net and mats on top of the snow.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      47+49 for a 96. Just lost it today. Two way miss off the tee. Could not hit a decent iron. Three putted like at least 8 holes. Not good when the short game is the best part of the day 😭😭

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      Phillyk is very close by. Ok, I understand how the watch and tags are meant to be used, but I was just curious how it actually works. I can't really think of any other way than what I mentioned above. No worries. If it works it works. I'll probably pick one up. My co-worker mentioned a free app called 18 Birdies which offers similar services. However I personally do not like keeping my phone in my pocket while golfing, nor do I want to be clicking around on the phone while out on the course. I toss my phone in my bag and leave it there until I am done golfing. Tapping a club head to a watch seems wat more convenient.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By GolfLug ·

      Yes, but not always the case. IMHO, green speeds are a huge variable and can effect score variation from week to week or month to month significantly. Our own course that is running at about 8-9 depending on the week/day, can run up to 12 (no kidding) in peak months around certain event, and most like me score 3-4 shots higher on an average, missing a lot of 3-4 footers. There are any PCC adjustments that I am aware of. Have you every played their course? I am betting $20 you will find some answers if you haven't already.
