Currently saving for a down payment on a house. Golf simulator is coming after that house. There will be plenty of room without a couch :-P

At my house, I'd need that couch to sleep on if I bought a golf simulator :whistle:

After thunderstorms last evening I awoke to snow covered ground this morning. Out running errands today I found myself driving in brilliant sunshine with snow coming down like a blizzard! Weird weather! In this part of the country I think we're getting fooled because Easter came so early. I've seen years where Easter was in late April and we had snow. It's a drag, but we just have to put up with it.

I hate my state.  April 6?....windy as shit and cold.  Wind chill in the 20's, and it's blowing hard.

Home opener for the Red Sox.  Should be pissa trying to track down a pop up today.  Hit one off the end of the bat and the feeling in your fingers will come back mid June.

Golf?  What is golf?

April is cruel, so close and every day brings hope for tomorrow, but it seems to just get colder and snow keeps falling, this is nothing new, May is usually when the season really starts, anything in April is just a bonus. Glad I love the range.

TS Eliot was right, April is the cruelest month.

While the 7-day forecast is kind of BS, I'll take it right now, because next weekend looks promising!

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
