The SE Michigan Golf Show is this coming weekend.

 

Disappointing....   I was hoping to see some launch monitors....Nothing.   My friend did take a chance on the hole in one and was within 29'.    We'll see if he gets a call back for Sunday's competition.      I bought a Tin-Cup thinking I'd found a University of Michigan one.   When I got it home.....Nope....Maryland.   Their logos are different!    Now it's just trash!

My allergies are flaring up and it's snowing outside. WTF, weather?

Dry air in the house! It aggravates everything. I spray "Simply Saline" up my nose every day and it helps. It's by Arm & Hammer, and is just water with salt and baking soda in it. No meds involved. Try it!

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.

We only got an inch, but it's 10 degrees this morning.

-2 here now. I'll be in Waltham today or tomorrow. Doesn't look like any outdoor activities for today.

Bummer.  If you used a "Maize" sharpie, very few are going to notice the difference between a Michigan, Maryland or Minnesota "M". Then again, I live in Ann Arbor but do not bleed maize & blue.  Perhaps the "M" style makes all the difference. 

As to the "disappointing" part, I hear you.  Every year there are more financial advisers and gutter guard retailers.  I go to the show because of "tradition" (habit) and typically the weather is too shitty to play golf.

Wow. Looks pretty out the window, but 21 degrees driving in this morning. Makes it a lot easier to be locked in the office all weekend.

Hope you don't have the wind we experienced the other day.    Gusts to 70 mph and thousands without power for an extended time.      We are sitting at 15º with the chill factor of -3º.

It's pretty windy today. Not 70 mph but gusty.

Did you hear about this the other day Denny? Very sad.

Just heard the local weatherman on the nightly news. He says we have a "glut" of snow coming in the next week. While I am generally in favor of gluttony and most other vices, for snow in the middle of March? Not so much!

It seems our St.Patty's day misery is setting up right on schedule!

Some of the biggest snow storms have happened in March.   I was out west skiing a couple of weeks ago and they were saying they get their biggest snow storms in March too.

I was golfing last year in March....and loving it!

So this might be covered elsewhere in the hundred thirty some pages on the thread but what's the coldest y'all have played in?

I have in the low 30s a few times and once when it was 17 (with wind chill) on a dare.  Played all 18 with no one else  on the course.

I will today at noon. Will be 39.

    • 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.
    • 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.
