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.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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...)

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By iacas · Posted

      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.

      Can't remember who but some wise guy said "Arms up, body around"..😉. Anywho, been working on pinning my lead arm less and less to my chest in the BS. Decent progress with the arms, need a lot of work and trust for the 'body around' part.
