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!

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.

    • 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.   
    • 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...)
    • 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.   
    • So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all. 
    • Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
