I have a feeling I'm going to be ranting in this thread the longest. I'm just hoping our courses open by mid/end of May.

I will be right there with you.  Still 2' of snow on the ground here.

Just be happy you can practice your boarding/skiing at your local parking lot. A little variety isn't bad. :-)

Doesn't New Brunswick get an ocean effect?  Courses are just opening around here.  I would think the ones near the coast would open up.

Nice weekend coming up but 25 mph winds don't look fun.

Not so much in NB. We must be in a snow belt. In Nova Scotia, the courses started opening mid-March. I'm missing spring there!

I hear ya buddy! I drive by my course 5 days a week and I'd say there's at least another two weeks before it opens. FML.

What course? It's tough waiting. Two weeks will fly by though.

I'm not in the maritimes anymore, live in Montréal now. My home course is an executive course but it has light so I can play after I put the kids to bed which lets me triple (at least) the amount of rounds I can play compared to if I was restricted to only playing while there is daylight.

God damn, I am chompin' at the bit. Let's play some ****ing golf already!!!!!!!!!

I've always wondered if there were any courses that had artificial lights so as to play at night.

Good to know there's at least one.  Haha.

There used to be one in Newport Beach California near the end of the John Wayne airport, short course with lots of traffic and also had a puttputt course there as well. Kind of funny to be standing there paying for a round while holding a full bag of clubs when the next person in line just has a putter.

It's still there .  I've never played it, but it's still around.

I know of at least two others in Orange County and at least one in San Diego.

BTW, did anybody notice that the course in Malaysia that they used for the Eurasia Cup had lights all over it??  That would be the first time I've seen a "real" course with lights.  I've only seen Par 3 and executive courses.

There are several around here including some full length 18 hole ones, they're just too far away to be practical for me, so my best option that allows for tons of golfing is my executive course. Unfortunately that means my handicap will always be a bit of a "best guess" seeing as the slope/rating isn't official.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I am planning on coming down. It's supposed to clear up but the wind is going to be a bitch all weekend.

      My Favorite Putts

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.

      Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.

      Tiger on the Today show today. At 3:25 he says he's working on keeping his arms in more and rotating his hips better. Nice.
