Has this car been covered by snow since the '70s?

How perceptive!  Depressing right? That is what it feels like right now.  We have been covered with snow since the 70's.

Throwback to fall when the net was still in my yard.

We must harness the crystiles.

@LuciusWooding I don't remember what that thing is called....I think we orbit it though if my sources are correct.

Hmmm sounds dangerous. Sure you didn't stop on the train tracks?

I have plans for a hitting igloo if the upcoming warm weather doesn't melt the snow. Why use a net when mother nature has generously provided so much free material?

The blue sky has finally come back to NH everyone.... and yes, @treebound I do enjoy using the net and the set up and tear down are so hassle-free. It was only $50 at Sports Authority too which made me a very happy guy.

Yesterday through Sunday we have temps in the 40s with some rain. I was hoping there would be a significant amount of melt but it doesn't look like it's going to make a dent in the feet of snow we have piled up in some places. Temps are supposed to drop again next week. :censored:

Spring cannot come fast enough. I am getting some serious cabin fever and I can't take much more winter! :surrender:

I feel like I am going to end up going insane like Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining...which probably wouldn't be good for anyone.

Sitting here in Cleveland, buried in 12+" of snow. It's been BRUTAL! Sub-zero temps for weeks straight...

Yesterday, I ordered my new AP1 712's and I know that when they get here by next week, I'll literally be dying to go play. Thank god we have a few indoor/outdoor ranges with heated stalls that I can use when these come in. Winter is the worst and unfortunately I didn't win the Powerball last night so that I could move to a beach where it's sunny and 75 right now!

The depressing thing is that I am old enough to remember when these cars were new!

That is my grandfather's Caddy.  We looked at restoring it last year for him, until we realized we could just buy one already done up for about 5K.  Now it is a parking lot ornament at our body shop.

The sun is shining bright but it doesn't look like much melting is going on.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.

      There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:

      Ugly elbow in question
    • gestate0560
      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By gestate0560 · Posted

      I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
