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.

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...

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)

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.

Expand  

It's rain an hour south of me too.

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?

Expand  

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.

      Would You Rather…?

      By WillieT ·

      For me it would be opt 1 , even though it’s a watching it slip away scene.  I believe it was Brando who lamented at the end of Streetcar Named Desire that he could’ve been a contender….would I be like @ChetlovesMer’s friend?  I hope not, but to know that for a moment I was giving the  win a run for the money would be a great memory…

      2025 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Sammydreep ·

      After a bit of a lean spell managed to birdie stroke hole one, long par five. Ball striking best it’s been for a while short game exactly the opposite. Had so many opportunities to post good scores last three or four games, failed miserably😀

      Would You Rather…?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Would You Rather #69 For this question let's assume you are playing whatever tournament is important to you.  Would you rather finish second in your tournament but be remembered for a huge mistake you make right at the end.  or  Would you rather play solidly in your tournament, but you still finish outside the top 25, and are never really in contention.  Incidentally, this happed to a friend of mine many years ago at the tournament I play every year. He was leading the tournament coming into the last hole, where he took two to get out of a greenside bunker and then three-putted his way to second place. He hasn't really been in contention again since.
