Yeah, I think it's going to be much like last year where we don't see an open golf course until late March at the earliest. Not only does this nonsense have to melt, but the ground has to dry out enough that you don't take a bucketful of fairway up with every iron shot. Shame. February remains the only month that I haven't played golf in.

Gotta pray for heavy rain and temperatures on the plus side to beat some of this snow down.

2 weeks of 40 plus and some rain and we may just may get some golf in 2nd week of March here on LI. Right now the wind is wicked and temps are frigid.

Yeah, it's not letting up. No one's even picking up at driving ranges when I call to ask if they're open, haha. Last year they at least tried until they ran out of balls. Now it's too cold to even bother. The only heated one near me, Heartland, never seems to have those heaters on

It has been so cold I haven't even attempted to go to Heartland. Been at the PGASs to hit.

Yeah, I demoed a ton of drivers, irons, and hybrids yesterday at Golfsmith while I had some time to kill between doing college interviews for local kids.

My league starts the first week of April.  That would be April 2nd this year.  I don't see how all the snow (frozen solid at this point) will disappear by then.  Especially when we haven't seen a day anywhere CLOSE to normal (38* today) temperatures in a long, long time.

March is going to have to be in the 60s or better to melt the 2 feet of snow and ice by April.

Waaaah ... I don't like cold weather anymore.  Uncle.

But you're USED to the 49 hours of summer you get a year.

It's been a brutal winter here.  You know it's cold when you get a brain freeze just from breathing.  I can't imagine my home course being playable by its scheduled open date of March 13.  Last year we couldn't get a recordable round in until mid April.

So many people I know are in Madison and they rave about the beautiful summers there. And I hear you have great golf courses (and the US Open / PGA coming up!). Can't be that bad!

They are right. Our summers are great. I can still complain about winter though, can't I?

Our courses are going to be butchered when the snow/ice melts. We've had snow/rain combo storms too often and the ice is just so hard on the courses.

Has been very playable in Virginia Beach/Williamsburg area (high 30s-low 50s) until this week. Seems like warming up again in the next few weeks. For all those who don't have to have absolute Florida weather it is 'only' 6-7 hours drive from NY City and probably the closest playable area close to northern states on the east coast!

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
