Local forecast here is for snow, then sleet, and possible freezing rain for the next few days. Buy hey it is sunny and mid-20's degF outside right now so wahoo from the window looking out. (Driving home tonight and tomorrow will be another matter all together)

But the golf show/expo is in town in a couple of weeks, so that will make for a nice distraction. Only bummer to that is on that Saturday we're driving south to Illinois for a grandkid competition, so my golf show option is now a Friday after work. Hope it doesn't snow that day.

We're getting more snow today.. really want it to end. Maybe I'll move to BC where I can golf year round.

Real estate and just about everything else is crazy expensive here but ....... we have days like last weekend.

Can we get back to complaining about winter?

Sorry ......... back to staying on topic and complaining about winter.

On both Sunday and Saturday we had frost delays.

On Saturday it was for 1 hour and 15 minutes so our tee time was moved back from 8:12 to 9:30 am.

On Sunday it was for 30 minutes so our tee time was moved back from 8:30 to 9:00 am.

By the afternoon we only got to about 60 degrees in the sunshine.

A bit too cold for the grass to have significant growth so the greens were not cut on Saturday just the dew was rolled off. Some of the greens were cut on Sunday but they are still a bit bumpy.

Also the crew did not rake the fairway bunkers only the green side ones.

Damn winter when is spring going to get here !!!!!!!!!

He is like a stripper showing up to a sex addicts support group.  If it wasn't for him, nobody would know that there are people who can play golf right through the winter though, and those of us who can't afford it are suffering, but those who can aren't. It is good to have our nose rubbed in it, and often. So post away!

Ah. 3 to 5 more inches on Sunday gave us 6-8 on the floor in the good ole Miami Valley . The temps are supposed to spike up to mid-40s tomorrow. It will rain like a bitch and then freeze back over.

Going to dig out the old Bauers and skate to work on Thursday.

Hate to be the bad guy in a thread like this, but my son and I have tee time Sunday morning. The temp will be in the 50s and sunny in central Virginia.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
