The SE Michigan Golf Show is this coming weekend.  It has always been my traditional "start the season" event.  This year I have played 9.5 rounds starting 1/1 so it feels a bit different.  At least the predicted weather is supposed to cooperate next weekend, cold & snow.

I've seen that some courses are going to open this week, but the weather isn't helpful. It may not break freezing again this weekend in Boston.

It's been an unusual winter for sure, I think I've played more rounds in Jan-Feb than I did in Nov-Dec! very strange, but its kept the blues away for sure.

I just hope the weather gets back to freaky, it's really cold now and I want to be in mid-season form by May!

Do it, Valley, do it! What could he possibly mean by "cool"? Temps in the 60's? My God! We'd be walking around in short sleeved t-shirts! Damn spoiled bastage!

Well, we got 3 eighteen hole rounds in in February, which is pretty much a miracle! March is setting up to be like March always is, the cruelest month! Every time it gets warm enough to play, it rains! And when it's too cold to play, it snows! It reminds me of what the Will Geer character in "Jeremiah Johnson" said about March. "It's a green and muddy business down low!"

This is the time of year when the weather bothers me most.  Today is sunny with a high around 50.  I'd golf but I have to work and have commitments after work.  The rest of the week goes downhill with the weekend only being in the 20s.  Such a tease!  I shouldn't complain, though, I'm taking full advantage of my membership and have already played 36 holes, most of those in Feb!

Sorry buddy. The wife and son are going to be out of town for a week starting next weekend if you want to come down. Of course it will probably be warm up there by then.

Thanks for the offer. It's been crazy. 65 one day, 20s two days later.

There's a Winter Weather Advisory up around here, and the last time I ventured into the kitchen for another adult beverage I flicked on the rear light and took a look. Yep! Everything is, once again, covered with snow! We usually get at least one heavy snowfall in the vicinity of St. Patrick's Day, and I'm hoping this will suffice. But I'm too smart, or cynical, to invest much effort into it!

We're escaping with about an inch today, but the forecast for Tuesday is a Nor'Easter with 5-8 F-ing inches of snow.:pound:

Look at the bright side, with Daylight Saving Time, you will have more day light with which to watch it snow!  ;-)

My gf's allergies increase during snow storms as well.

We are projected to get 12 inches Tuesday and already got 2 1/2 at my house today.

Was hitting out in the field behind my house the other evening when a big spruce got up-rooted and crashed a short distance from me.

Tonight I came home from work and could only get in a few swings before the 15° temp chased me back inside. It's been a weird winter. There is virtually no snow on the ground right now but it's just too cold for the courses to open.

      Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies.

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      By NHpro ·

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
