No benefit here in NE OH either! Snowing a blizzard about now, and the next two nights are forecast to be in the single digits! All I can say about the groundhog is that he's a stinking, low life, lying rodent! 

Not any better here in NE Iowa.  Still have several feet of snow and it was -13 on the way in to work today.  -27 with windchill.  High of 7 deg today.  Looks like there will be a lot of freezing rain for the next couple weeks......

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

4 below zero at 7 AM this morning.  On the news they said it's been 60 years since Denver and northeastern Colorado has seen temps this cold in March.

1 year ago today I golfed.

Right now it's 16 degrees, feels like 6, and we have 2 inches of snow on the ground.

Yeah. Usually this is mid-January weather in Denver area. Ugh. No golf this week — again.

A week ago I was in Orlando golfing at Grand Cypress.  Today I had to get my Starbucks through an open door because my windows were froze shut.   🤬

Below zero this morning (March 5th) again in Central WI. We've had record cold for March so far, after having record snowfall for the month of February. The "funny" thing is that we had almost no snow on the ground up to the middle of January, and I was optimistic about having an early start for golf season here. Normally, courses open up around the week of the Masters, but we'll have to have a lot of warm days in a row for that to happen this year.

March 5th, and will not reach 30's until this weekend in central Wisconsin. I've been reading a separate topic here about "Hip Slide" to start downswing. It makes a lot of sense and could possibly explain some recurring problems with casting. Can't wait for it to warm up so I can incorporate some of this information. Until then, I'll have to settle for watching the pros on TV.

Sorry Joe, the weather sticks here too. Do you have a link to hip slide?

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I'm kind of new here, so I'm not sure how to do a "link", but if you Search "Biggest Secret Hip Slide" at the top of the page, it should be the top result. I think it's an older thread, but there's a lot of posts and some logical descriptions about "how's and why's".

It got all the way up to 36F today.  At his rate, I might actually find a chance to get out and play before the 1st of April.

Looks like it's almost here.........  Weather is going to be in the mid to upper 40s for the next couple weeks.  With as much snow as we got this year, that will be a lot of wet courses (and a few flooded ones) for awhile as the snow melts.  Extra water hazards......

 All the snow SHOULD be gone by April...........  I'm Impatiently waiting !!!!!

Seems like the "Winter of our discontent" is slowly, but surely, coming to an end. Supposed to be mid-50's tomorrow. Also, I'm starting to get e-mails from some local courses announcing that they are opening soon. It all depends on the Sun. A few days ago the high was forecast to be in the low 20's. I'm puttering around the house and took a look out the window to see ice melting! Wait a minute! It was only supposed to be 22 or 23 degrees today! I walked outside and that's what it was! But, it was a clear day and the Sun is high enough in the sky now that you can start to feel the heat from it! I just closed my eyes and stood there for about 5 minutes, letting the sun shine on my face!

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
