Me too. As long as courses are open, and not raining I'll be out at Fox Hollow

You'd probably have to wear all of the sweaters you own.

LOL, seriously.  Although just to annoy you, I'd put the purple one on the inside.

Why do you guys insist on having such a long, crappy winter??  Stop it already, so you can go play some golf!!

It's unreal.  My wife has told me several times that growing up (Long Island) it might snow a couple of times a year, but it rarely stuck around for very long.  This year, every other day I'm seeing pictures from her friends tobogganing in their front yard or shoveling a driveway.

It's nuts!!!  I feel bad for you guys.  I want to stop seeing this thread at the top of the "new posts" list and instead see a "Spring Excitement - Golf Season is Here!!!" thread in its place.

Golf weather on Long Island is at least 10 days away.  I don't remember a winter this rough ever.   I've already burned 1.5x the amount of oil I burned last winter.   I'm starting up my indoor lessons tomorrow and hoping that by the first week in April I get to play a few rounds before my Myrtle Beach trip.

Cannot catch a break with these cold temps in NH still. I usually like to hear the 7-day forecast to see if in at least a week things will be warming up, but that wish is not being fulfilled. Looks like next Wednesday is supposed to be frigid temps and so are the days preceding it. I'M DONE.

We must harness the crystiles.

You play in that damn rain and you enjoy it. Your excuse from work can be "I quit". I am praying for icy mix instead of snow because of my desperation to play golf but I have all the free time in the world and can't even practice.

Where do you play? Fri. will be the day to get out I may dream up an excuse to leave work early tomorrow.


I play Riverdale, which is playing pretty fair for winter. Todd Creek should be in very similar shape.

Looks as if Fri will be the best chance till midweek next.

I'm 54. I can't recall a winter that was this consistently cold.  We have cold snaps.  But it seems we've only hit 50 once or twice since before Xmas.

Supposed to be above freezing Saturday and Sunday so I should be able to get a bunch of work at the range. Looking at snow late Sunday into Monday. :pound:

Dear Weather Gods,

I can't take much more! Make it stop! :surrender:

Regards,

Matt

It's -5° outside (actual) right now with a -15°F windchill. We're supposed to get 6-12" of fresh snow by Monday!!!!!!!!!! I am losing my damn mind. That's NE Ohio for you... just wait until mid-March when we go 50°, 50°, 60°, 30° + 12" of snow again... :censored:

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
