UGH! [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B_VdJxhWIAESGzx.jpg[/IMG]

I second that sentiment!!!!!

UGH!

Reminds me of my bruv's old place in Brooklyn. Never been more claustrophobic in my whole life.

Here in northern WI we have not had a lot of snow.  There might be around 6'' on the ground outside my house right now.  In some places less.

This is good and bad.  Good because I don't have to shovel.  Bad because we have had cold weather and the frost is driving down deeper than normal.  Starting to hear about frozen pipes/sewers/etc...

This was supposed to be my first year as a snowbird. I got to Florida and came down with gout so bad from the heat and dehydration that I couldn't play golf for two or three weeks, finally got a couple of rounds in but my daughter, who is in college in Boston, became ill and so I had to return north where I have spent the past two weeks in Boston at hospital cooped up inside while she recovers from surgery. I will probably go back to Florida for a week to close the place up as soon as she is doing well enough that my wife and I don't have to take shifts watching her.  She slept through the night last night, so that's a good sign.

This summer cannot come soon enough for me. I am going to drag my daughter along to play with me, even if she only drops a ball on the green and putts at first. She needs to find some kind of exercise that is not too demanding but gets her moving and building strength.

Next year, I am going to head down at the beginning of November and stay till April 1st, God willing, and post no end of pictures of beautiful courses. Here's one of a par three in Palm Beach I played with my wife and in-laws to get started. Expect more next winter on the never to die depression thread.

UGH!

Yeah, UGH is right. Those are some pretty difficult shots. If you can hit those tire tracks you should get some serious roll. I think the roof of the expensive looking SUV is perfect for a lob or flop shot, but still doable. . .

Where do you live?

Where do you live?

Troy, OH. I also spend a few days a week in the bustling metropolis of Beavercreek, OH.

Made a trip to Kittyhawk GC today to check out their new indoor practice facilities. This is a depressing scene. We usually start playing the week after the clocks roll forward. I felt guilty submitting under the agreement that I was not uploading offensive material.

I know what you mean. I visited my brother over Thanksgiving and played the Eagle. Your picture says it all, but take heart... I checked weather.com and the next 10 days have temperatures in the 40°'s and 50°'s.

That looks really nice. I have to travel 400 miles to Susanville in NorCal to see beautiful scenery like that. . .and I would bring lots of orange golf balls and a 6i!

Yah, don't think I could live in a community with only 25,000 (or thereabouts) people. It would feel too dead, IMO. It's probably a good thing we each don't live where the other does, haha.

I'm a midwest guy and love the availability of any number of courses that we have. I have relatives living in NYC and have wondered where people go to play at a reasonable cost. Any thoughts?

No doubt about it. I can roll out of bed on any Saturday morning and play any of 20 courses in an hour's drive with no tee time. Almost always for $50 or less.

I've tried to picture schlepping my golf bag across subway platforms and I think I'll pass.

Well, it depends on your definition of reasonable but from the courses I've played, you have Van Cortland, Split Rock and Pelham Bay in the Bronx are all good courses that you can play for $30-$50 walking. In Queens, the Clearview golf course is pretty good with a par of 70, and Douglaston and Kissena golf courses short courses with Pars in the mid-60's. I'm not that big a fan of Douglaston or Kissena because of the lack of par 5's but that's just me. Then there are a mess of courses all over Long Island that are really nice with different price points depending on what you feel comfortable spending. All in all, lots of great options, IMO.

Drove the summer car to the club and played under bright sunshine and 60 degrees.

[DaBush87]

Warm weather in Pittsburgh, time to break out the under armour and play in 40 degree weather. Anything feels warm after the negatives we've had as of late

[BigSlab29]

55°F today in southern Illinois but way to saturated. Warmer weather this week during spring break means I may get to hit that ball around finally!
