I got an email from a local course that it will open for the first time ever February 18th.   Will probably play.

These don't sound depressing. Stay on topic! :-P

I'm so depressed that we don't have snow.   Tee time Sunday...:cry:

 

Something really depressing...We are seeing golfing temps this week and of course, I'm heading out of town to snow ski....Not sure I made the right call.

Tee time at 3:30p today.  Going with a friend to Timber Ridge Golf Club.  Took a late time to just play nine because he is very deliberate (Slooooow) in his play.  Nice to get outside without three layers on.

Good news is there are no snowy days in the  forecast for the next ten days and there will be temps as high as the 60s. So that will help melt the glacier that occupies the spot where I set up my practice net. I fear the courses won't open until late March though.

You have nothing compared to us this year. We had 4 feet of snow in 8 days. This weekend was a godsend to melt some of it. It is supposed to be 60ish Thursday and Friday here. This kinda makes me a little nervous about the girl scout ice fishing trip on Thursday...

Well you do live in the "White" Mountains after all. You should have more snow.:-P

Be careful around the ice.   Here in Michigan we are hearing about several people that have to be rescued from the Lakes.

We've lost a few of the tourists on snow machines through the ice. Lake Winnie is not frozen very solid in some areas....

The depression is lifting.  The physical therapist gave me the OK for golf "... but try not to dig any ditches" because I needed that reminder :doh: .  Tomorrow should be in the mid-50s and after the last few days, the course should be all right so I'm going to go over and play a few holes.

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
