I miss hit a drive yesterday and hit a low line drive, it ended up almost where my good drives do.

The accidental stinger.   Also means tho that greens are hard and not receptive.  But that's assuming we hit GIR which a majority of us don't most of the time

One positive about this dry weather.   Drives roll for days.  

Insane lightning show with the severe warned storm here in Orange County around 130am.   Every second or two there was a huge flash, lasted for about a half hour

Where the hell did all the rain go last night that the Nams forecasted

Had to close the windows in the house.  Haven't had the central air on in over two weeks

Still not a drop of rain today.   Keep thinking there's thunder outside, but it's West Point doing artillery drills

 A quick 0.69 in 30 minutes that developed basically overhead. 

We literally just got done paving Hudson street in village of Cornwall , about 15 minutes before the deluge

The first few days of June  could be hotter than this past weekend was. 850mb temperatures topped out closer to +20C. The 850 mb temperature forecast to start June is +22 to +24C with a 592 -594 dm heat dome.

  

Oof, work should be fun.  Next week we will be milling and paving 2 roads. Nice, hot and dusty milling,  and then laying blacktop a day later.  Hopefully my work dumptruck AC keeps up 

11am tee time tomorrow.  The beer will be cold 

92 here

Closed my windows yesterday morning after house got down to 61 degrees.   I closed them to keep the humidity out that would increase throughout the day.   I set my Central air to 74 degrees as well.  As of now,  it's still 71 degrees inside.  Hasn't kicked on yet.   Currently at 87 degrees and very humid outside.   I love this weather.  Currently chilling on the back patio in some shade

I got an eagle like that once on a par 5, was about 100 yards out and the pin was hidden, could just see the flag, hit my shot and I heard "dink" walked up and the ball was in the hole.

That's awesome finding your ball in the hole.   It's funny when you hit a blind shot and can't find your ball,  and you know it's not in the hole but you check anyway.

I thought I had a hole in one last year.  Uphill par 3, can barely see top of flag.  Ball tracks onto the pin.   Can't see it land, so drive up to green, there's no ball in sight.   I thought it was in the hole, checked, no ball.   It was 10 yards over the back of the green 

Shot a 93 yesterday,third time out this year.  An 11 and 12 shot improvement from previous two rounds.  Finally made solid contact with irons.  Driver was decent keeping all but one in play.   Short game unfortunately was atrocious after being great the last two times.   Had 6 triple putts, two of them went from birdie putts to bogeys.

In great news, got my first eagle.   18th hole par 5.  Best drive of the day, left me 250yds to the green.  Went with 3w being only trouble was left if left short, no problem.   Caught it a fat and was a worm burner that only went 125yards down the right side of fairway.  So 125 left, used my PW.  Shot straight up going right at the pin, landed it 4 feet in front of flag and trickled in.  That's one way to not use a putter

i see a lot of comments about how they are sick of this kind of weather. again i ask why would anyone want warm and humid weather from now until late september? i prefer to keep the heat away for as long as possible no sane person would want humid hot weather for 6 months non stop if that is the kind of weather you like.. move to florida!!!

Can do alot more things in warm and humid than cold & dry and cool and damp

Wearing a long sleeve to work is real old now

Sun trying to peek out here

This has been our default summer pattern since 2018.

 

I'll take it over this crappy 3-5 day stretches with one good day inbetween

I got a feeling that cut off will screw us next week.   Mid 70s+ next week looking less likely

Looks like a good day for yard work. Mow, weedwack, edge,and use a tiller to rip up the small area dead spot and replant grass seed. 

 Going to be a struggle, played in FD vs PD hockey game yesterday.  A puck to the ribs still does not feel to well

I don’t know how you guys do it. I can’t play below 55F. I’ll see dudes on the course when it’s in the 40s and drizzle wearing winter gear, and I cringe. It doesn’t look enjoyable. Same for the really hot days. Big hairy men smoking cigars sweating on the first tee on 92/77 days. 
 

I’m a wuss…Golf is a 60-80 degree game for me. 

45 degrees in November or December I'm golfing.  45 degrees in spring Im staying far away.    I don't mind the 90-95 degrees day.  Also like the softer ball feel and better distance

Cool.and blustery out.  Terrible

Second round done yesterday, another poor score.  Ball striking a bit better.  Still pushing and fading jrons.  My friend says it looks like my hands are too pressed foward.  Could be possible as that should cause a steeper swing. 

The most frustrating part were my 30-50yard shots into the green.  I was doing great all last week, and the front 9 yesterday. All of a sudden I kept thinning them and they become a rocket across the green ...Definitely was peeking before striking ball, stupid mental mistake

Wtf is this line of showers moving from NW to SE.   Sun was barely out in the afternoon here

This pattern f*****g sucks

Well first round of 18 today.  Played pretty bad.   A tweaked back earlier in the week didn't help.   All my irons were weak fades.  Driver was another weak fade to a full on slice, even tho my natural driver shot shape is a draw.  Combination of a bad back and playing for first time in 5 months totaled to a 104.   My chipping and putting was actually pretty good
