Hi all,

March is finally here; Let's keep this thread open to track any courses that we can confirm have opened for the Spring. I got touch a couple pro shops namely; The colts Neck CC and Spookybrook. Both are still closed as of 2/24. I will be checking in with them tomorrow for an update on course conditions, will revert back then. Anyone else have any news from the local courses?

Home course isn't scheduled to open until March 14, but I'll be shocked if it opens that day given the forecast for this week.

Lots of the muni's in NYC are open year around.

I guess their philosophy is, "if you're willing to pay..."

I have enough trouble finding my ball in the fall due to leaves, I can't imagine trying to find it in a snow bank or snow covered fairway.

I guess that's why they have yellow balls. Just don't lose it in dog pee. Haha

I called last weekend & a couple courses were open just north of Atlantic City - too far a drive for me, but if anybody really has the itch, this is the area to target

Indeed - I played at Blue Heron Pines 2 weekends ago - unseasonably warm for a Sunday in February - 55-60 degrees

Course was in decent shape, the only thing that sucked was every tee shot that was hit plugged. Fairways were very soggy, but what else do you expect playing golf in NJ in the winter? - I just enjoyed being out there ...

The commute for me was 2 hours each way (I live right outside of NYC) - for a 4 hour round of golf ... damn! I love this game!!! lol

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

Got an email from Cherry Creek out on Long Island. They opened this weekend with Cart Paths/rough riding. They hope to rescind by next weekend. They have their St. Patrick's Day shotgun coming up on the 17th(duh) so I guess they want to get into the swing of things.

And they might close right back up again on Wednesday/Thursday. 25 degrees and snow expected around here. arrrrgh. At least Saturday might warm up and I can get some range work in before heading to FL at the end of the month.

Only 30% chance. It'll probably be a dusting and melt quickly.

They are still skiing at Ballyowen (Crystal Springs) and see no mention of golf on their FB or website.  I know most NY courses aren't opening officially until this weekend but whether the course will be playable is still unknown.  We're expecting more freezing temps and snow / sleet this week and early next week.  I'm hoping to play Saturday but the weather tomorrow could ruin that.

According to golfnow and golfzing, Van Cortlandt Park in The Bronx and Dyker Beach in Brooklyn are open. I'm looking forward to checking out the new clubhouse at VC, supposed to be pretty nice.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.
