Since playing 9 holes on December 24, I've been able to hit balls outside once. Some of that is because of the weather, some of that is having two small kids. But it's been a frustrating couple of months for me, golf wise.  It's good to be heading into March and April, but those also tend to be the most frustrating months because it's warm but then snows. They are also two of our snowiest months. 

Anyways, I'm starting to get that itch again...

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

The amount of snowfall we have received this year is absolutely brutal.  I have not seen this much snow in years.  I haven't had much motivation to swing a club all winter, but I need to soon.

Guessing you had motivation to swing a snow shovel, though...

Yeah I'm thinking I've upped my BS by about 5mph this winter.  😉

Yes, March in Michigan can be a combination of two season often, 50-60 one day, and 20-30 another. When we get into March, although, you really can see spring coming. Days are longer, snow doesn't last long after it falls, temps getting golf-able. It's coming!

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

Getting ready for a 10:10 and it seems like ever body else has the same idea.  I hope I'm ahead of them...

(70s today, like the last couple days.)

 

We have had 8" of rain this year so far.  We played last week and I still can't believe we dodged it.

I know true golfing weather is here when I have to drive home from the golf course with the air-conditioning cranked up to full blast.

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Still plenty of snow on the ground but its supposed to be fairly warm rest of the week then in the mid 40s all weekend so provided that melts most of it I may just have to go get a little muddy for a chance to see a ball fly through the air rather than into a net in a dimly lit garage lol

But, that day doesn't come in the Pacific Northwest until July 4th.

Oh, then I guess I owe you an apology. 
I thought you were experiencing such weather right now. 

Okay, you don't suck. Anyone else who gets to play golf all year round and never has to deal with shoveling loads of white death off their driveways sucks.

Yep, all Florida and Southern California golfers suck.

I hope so.

Last three weekends have been snowed out.  Getting tired of snowing on Wednesdays just in time to ruin my weekend tee times.

Our once mighty mountains of snow are now a pathetic, dirty, gray shell of their former selves. 

50 degrees this weekend. Going to have to see about a furlough of some kind and hit the range.

      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.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      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.
