Hope all is well. Looks like Toronto Hydro has its hands full.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

No power was lost where I live, about half an hour outside of downtown Toronto. A few of my neighbor's trees fell. Luckily, no cars or homes were damaged. It's amazing how all the trees here are coated with ice about an inch thick.

Good to hear. Going up to visit relatives soon, their power is out, so got a hotel. Hope the situation stabilizes. Looks like no state of emergency so far.

I live in eastern Michigan and we still have power outages several days after the ice storm.   Several business are still without power and we are getting some snow on top of the ice that hasn't melted yet.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Yeah, same issues here in Oakville (near Toronto), ice is still around and now some snow on top if it. Good day to stay indoors and enjoy the Holiday.

However, it is one day closer to Spring!!

    • Thats the second hardest hole so bogey is ok. How do you do on the number 1 hardest hole?
    • Ah, target golf off the tee and all the way to the hole always grinds my gears, This is not a terribly long hole so here's my two cents: Job #1 is to put yourself in play. Job #2 is to keep yourself in play. If hitting a driver is such a crap shoot then you are already betting on lower than 50-50 odds. Hit a hybrid and take your chances with a long iron, punch or whatever. Stick to your plan and accept your result knowing you did. 
    • Ah, got it.  Yeah I'd just play it for bogey. Even as a low handicap I wouldn't be all that upset with a bogey on that hole. 
    • Haha I made a I typo. I was thinking two things at once, ‘I don’t think bogey is a bad score’ and ‘I think bogey is a great score’. But I mixed them up and said the opposite 
    • How isn't bogey a great score? As a 20 handicap every single time you make a bogey you are playing better than expected. Because if you bogeyed every hole you'd most likely be lower than a 20. You're a high handicap playing a hole that is lined with hazards the entire length of it on both sides.  Bogey is a very solid score for you on that hole.  From 300yds off the tee PGA tour players average 3.71 strokes to hole out. As a high handicap you are going to be more than 1 full stroke higher than that, probably closer to 2 full strokes higher.  If you had 100 different 20 handicaps play that hole I would bet a lot of money that the scoring average is greater than 5.0 Sometimes courses have really hard holes. Play for your bogey, be ecstatic about a par, and do everything possible to minimize double bogey.
