After a few nice, sunny, and somewhat warmish days there is a Winter Weather advisory in place for the county immediately South of us. So no doubt it will creep North and whack us as well. Thought I might get out for 9 today. My buddy was looking to get out of work early, but got snagged up and we didn't go. Rats! This cold weather just won't let go of us.

Never heard of Egremont so I looked it up.  Wow, you are about as Western as one can get.

I head out that way once in a while.  Usually head East more as the Cape is so fun in the spring, summer and fall.

I am right next to Worcester.  Its good to have another Mass member.  We might have to try and setup a lil gathering this summer for us Massholes.

Yes, it sucks to be us.  At least the snow totals are going down some on the north shore.  Supposed to start at 8 am Wednesday but now they are saying 4 pm.

Cold as f*** too.  Spring ...my ass.

Looks like it's down to 3-6 now. 

I just started playing last Fall and have been dying to get back out there.  Hopefully this is the last of it.

It's looking like we might not get much up over the border from CT.

Beautiful weather for working though. The fair-weather types cancel appointments and stuff actually gets done.

Bright side is it'll melt quickly.

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

True, but it still sucks.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.  
    • Distances look fine, no?
    • Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
    • Trackman place today. I broke my tripod so could only film by hand the video the venue’s cameras generated. This is an 8 iron. Amazing how odd this feels relative to how it looks. Not similar!
