Same here, I'm ready, I usually take a nice easy swing first couple of times out and do ok, it's when I try and ramp things up when my game goes south so I have to go back to basics.

Ramping things up and going for the hero shot is my kryptonite.  The strokes can add up to almost triple digits.   If and when I decide to play smart, I can break 90 more often than not, and even be below 85.   No one remembers your layup, but you definitely remember your 5i out of the trees that stop on the green,which is rare being the outcome is usually hitting a branch and coming straight down

I have it but it still somehow gets in, I'm going to look at 3M window insulation kits.

The heat shrink stuff works good.   Only downfall is if u get a torch mid winter, u can't open windows unless u take it off.

Need it, the wind is making it cold and no sol for natural solar heating.

It's snowing at my other house in the Poconos right now.

 

Sounds like you need Windows and/or insulation

Dont care how "warm" it's been, today is !@#$% cold I have my heat up at 80

80?  You're nuts.   Also big waste of energy to keep a house at that temperature

Playing golf in a hail storm is a new one for me…that was interesting.

I was down in Nyack today at the mall to get my irons regripped.   While I wss waiting I went to the Kia dealership to look at vehicles.   The pea sized hail came down fast and furious for about two minutes

Push cart lubed with wd40.  Irons regripped today as well, all ready to shoot a buck oh five

The higher elevations are the place to be if you like snow in April.

Drinking and golf is like drinking and gambling. ... never a great idea.

Controlling yourself in both situations is the key.  Get obliterated, yea you're asking for trouble.   Have a few and stay on a steady good line makes all the difference

Wear your arctic gear.

I'm also thinking about biting the bullet and going out Saturday 

April 1 starts striped bass fishing here on the Hudson river.   Usually mid-late April is when the 20+ pounders show up.

Oh yea, you can’t fade the booze cruise even if you tried lol.

I can’t even have a thick meal before I play 18. I mostly walk too (even courses like The Ranch) so I need a good night sleep and a healthy bfast. I know golf is a fun outing for friends to get together so the drinking, smoking, and scarfing down burgers and dogs is prevalent…I treat it more like a sporting event though where I try to be in top shape physically and mentally. My scores rarely reflect it though lol.  

I love walking courses too.  My usual crew prefer walking and our foursome plays faster than many 4 who ride.  Its an advantage when 4 people spray their shots and each go get their own instead of a cart crossing over a fairway back and forth multiple times.  

I can eat before a round, but hate the idea of stopping at the turn.

Was just asked a few minutes ago to play at 10:15, told him he's nuts, too cold.  I would play in this weather in December.  Not March

Lol. Really cool if you can play at port royal. Yea, ease off the drinking if you have plans to. I don’t know how some play hungover or even have a beer or two during a round. The game is hard as it is…

Yea the unlimited alcohol on a 7 night cruise takes a toll on you lol.   Usually weekend rounds I'll have a couple beers.   Golf outings, especially the town and cities municipal Superintendents outing here, is mainly a drink fest with unlimited booze on the course.  Those are fun, but your game really goes to hell quick

Going to attempt to play next weekend.  Did one range session back in early February where we had a warm day.   Tried out my new PXG 0811 driver.  Was hitting some sweet draws and straight bombs.  Worked mainly on my wedges being I struggle with the 60-100 yard shot.    Iron striking was good for not swinging for a couple months.  Even was messing around with a 5iron stinger. 

 My irons are 3 years old, I jumped on the One Length, using Cobra F8s.  I love them, very easy to hit.  The mental part is the toughest having a GW the length of  7i.  Ill probably give these a couple more years, hinted to the wife I was going to upgrade to Radspeeds, I didn't get a friendly look lmao.  However she loves coming out to drive the cart to have a few drinks if courses let us.   Some days she even walks and pushes my cart.  

We are most likely cruising in July to Bermuda, found out one of my good friends will also be on that same cruise, who also golfs.   We will probably play at Port Royal.  Hoping I'm not to hungover or drunk to top and chunk my shots on a course like that

This is my favorite type of weather. Very fall like

Chilly, rainy, raw is not very ideal

This weather is awful.  Give me 90 and humid any day and ill still walk the golf course

Definitely a bottom 3 type day

We got teased big-time last week.  Probably won't be nice again until May.  Ugh.

Just want to be outside in the sun, walking,  golfing, etc...way better than looking out the window and hoping for white flakes to fall from the sky

It's late March

Yeah and it's awful being cloudy, rain and 30s, 40s.

Trash cold pattern.  What a miserable time coming up

Our town must have put the rest of their rock salt supply down last night-roads are white with all the salt dust flying around

Salt distributors have municipalities by the balls.  Each fall we have to guess how much salt we will need for winter.  We ordered 550tons I think.  If we don't get all 550ton delivered by end of winter, they charge a "storage fee".   If we run out and have to order more, you guess it, they raise the prices on next delivery.   

Got maybe 3 inches here for a WSW for 4-7 inches.  But I'm on the Hudson river in Orange county, this setup should have been better for central and Western orange.   We did not drop our plows until the main show batch was gone.   We dumped salt while it was snowing heavy, knowing the batch would stop around 1230ish.   We let the March Sun angle and salt wear down the snow in roads (small town, we don't do the highways that run through, state roads) leaving it slushy with blacktop showing.   Very easy cleanup after and put more salt down after the last wave came through

I hate the cold.  Cant do anything.  Im not a snowboarder or skiier.  I used to enjoy pond hockey, but now it's too cold and destroys your expensive skates.  Give me warm weather to grill, golf, chill outside with a beer or 4, walk the dog.   Its very boring in the winter

we all can.  you want improvements, sacrifices need to be made for that....the benefits outweigh the costs; it wont just help with ice, it'll also help with landfalling TCs, thunderstorms, and wind storms.

 

One million dollars per mile is the estimate.  How many miles of powerlines are there?   We all know estimates are way underdone.  Now count for the terrain, especially here in the Hudson Valley.  Alot of shale and mountains.  Ripping up existing roads and sidewalks and needing to resurface , which costs more money and travel nightmares.  Then you have to rip up peoples lawns, driveways etc...to connect services.   All new developments are getting underground

I used to lay powerlines underground in New developments.  Thats also a slow process on virgin dirt with no other utilities or objects to get around
