Where are you at?

Metro-west/Framingham, MA area.  Not sure how @boogielicious made out closer to the city... 

My home course in northern CT was closed all weekend, but some other friends in central/southern CT said most we're still open with just some rain.

For our golfing brethren up north, we stand with you against the cold and await the return of good weather:

I am not sure either but I didn't hear any lamenting about it. My buddy in NY sent me a pic of dry and sunny on Saturday so maybe is was just up here.

There's one in every group.

Have hit the slopes a few times up there in NH, but never golf.  Closest is probably the annual scramble I play over in Portland at Sable Oaks...always a beautiful/fun track for the few good months they have haha.  Anyway, hope the snow melts quick for ya!

Ha thanks. I like Sable, my buddy that lives in Portland was a member last year. Back 9 kills me every time though...

Where are you at? We have 8 inches possible forecasted for tomorrow and I bet money we get 8 or 10.

Well you do live in the White Mountains! You should have lived in the Green Mountains. :-P

We got mostly rain, then a bit of snow. It's all but melted now. But just north of us, where all the courses I play are, it snowed 5 or 6".

We have a front coming in on Thursday but they are unsure of how much snow it will bring. I'm still planning on playing Friday with a playing partner. (I may finally have a legitimate round to post)

Approaching 2 inches....

That really sucks. It's all rain down on here on the seacoast. I'm hoping it will melt the majority of the snow that's left.

It's rain an hour south of me too.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

My backyard still looks like winter but I am playing at a course a little over an hour from my house tomorrow!!! :dance:

You should come up to the The Oaks and meet us @boogielicious for the morning tee time!

@Valleygolfer and @boogielicious, have you guys been out at all this spring?

Not yet. I am getting PT on my elbow. I have bicep tendinitis that came on during the last round of shoveling. Hope to get out next week.

How was it looking? That's my favorite course within 20 minutes of the house and where I keep my GHIN.  I'm playing The Ledges in York, ME tomorrow. Same designer as The Oaks I believe, and only 10 minutes from my house, but somehow I've never played there.

      My favourite club in my bag. Have it with a hzrds 6.0 shaft (probably the more important part) and I love it

      Well, I have a 2 hybrid, 4 hybrid and then play 6 iron onwards.  My best clubs are probably the 4 hybrid and the PW.  What I find is that loft is your friend in general which is why my 4 hybrid is so much better than my 2 hybrid.  Definitely disproportionately more so than the 5 or so degrees of difference in loft.  If you have hybrids, play them.  And consider loft as your friend.  Invariably you will get up to a loft where anything less will not get you more distance because of your club head speed.  Essentially the faster you swing the less lofted a club you can hit effectively.  For me it is probably a 4 hybrid and maybe a 7 iron though I could improve both with practice
