What’s the deal with all those sprays and cleaners out all over the place?

Throwing on a sweatshirt on the 4th of July is just so wrong . Shouldn’t ever be used in same sentence 

You’re pretty weak if you needed a sweatshirt today.

50/50 sounds good. 

We were playing the 8th and teeing off on the 9th when we heard the first thunder. We hustled to finish and got done just before the horn blew calling people off the course.

Anyone think Costco's will be open tomorrow? Want to try and go chasing after work but I need to go to Costco 

The one here in VT is closed tomorrow.

Based on my 2 min assessment of today at 430a with burning watery eyes as the toddler attempts to get back to sleep following a stomach bug induced blowout of her pampers…. Much rather be in NNE.

I have a 4:30 tee time in north central VT. What are my odds of getting it in? 50/50? Lower?

Golf league was spared tonight but we did get a rainbow.

Excellent!! Was going to say that pin is tucked right. I’d be aiming 15’ left. 

It wasn’t a great shot. I’ve been hooking irons off the tee and that’s what happened here. It was a good sideboard I guess. My playing partner hit a much better shot but landed it in a spot where it didn’t hold the green.

Where did your tee shot go on the par 3 pictured?

Left, bounced off the hillside and shot across the green leaving me about 15’ for birdie. And I made the putt. 

Course was in good shape and I shot an 89. 

Playing here later today. I haven’t played there in a long time. It’s an interesting mix of old school holes from the original 9 and the new 9. The new 9 was designed by same guy who did Green Mountain National in Killington. We tee off at 2:50. $49 including Cary is a deal.

Boring looking pattern. Maybe we can get some storms on Tuesday.

Not sure about down there but I can practically guarantee storms up here Tuesday sometime between 5:00 and 7:00. That’s golf league and it seems to rain every time this year.

As long as the temps aren't heat-stroke threats.  59 years ago the 4th was a Monday and the 3-day period below shows the NYC-area highs:
NYC:  100, 103, 98
EWR:  102, 105, 100
LGA:   101, 107,  99
Dews were about 70 so no TD records, just head-cracking heat.

I’m in the anything between 65° and 90°camp.

sure but for outdoor bbqs and beach activities, gotta be in the 80 and some humidity

?Do you do anything other than sit around? There are a ton of things that 75 is perfect for.

A perfect 4th is probably mostly sunny skies, 85/64 or thereabouts. 

 

A perfect 4th is anything without rain where you can be outside doing things.

We “breaking out” too.  A brighter cloudiness.

Just came from Waterbury Center a the sun was out. Temp was 73° on the car thermo. Back at home we are on the edge of the cloud shield. Hasn’t been as bad a day as I thought it would be.

Torrential rain.

We had a brief bout as well. Was at a family reunion.  Everybody huddled under canopies in fleeces because it’s 63°. Nice!

What loft is a 7 wood?

21° but is adjustable +/- .5°.  I have a G430 driver, which is the most reliable club in my bag, so I was sort of already on the Ping bandwagon.  These were on sale so I decided to give it a try.  Not sure how low handicap guys would like it but I did see some pros having 7 and 9 woods now.  I'm a 20 index and hit it about 180-200 depending on how clean my strike is.  The shaft is a "soft" regular.  Ping probably makes the most forgiving woods on the market.  Which is something I need.

Just bought a Ping G-430 Max 7 wood.    I hit this thing really well.  They let me try the demo for few rounds and I loved it. The pro shop had it for $269 and I had $200 in shop credit.

What's interesting though is that it is still plenty cold enough to snow at those departures.  It gets close, but it's just cold enough in the MVL climate.

Which made these winters exceedingly awful from a winter sports perspective, aside from skiing at a resort with good snowmaking.  The pack would repeatedly get wiped or severely reduced.  The ground never froze and ice was sketchy on the lakes and ponds.

Too cold unless you're laying down asphalt or clear cutting forests.

Or hiking or playing golf or biking or lawn work or attending an outdoor concert or ballgame etc.

Couldn’t recall if that stat was just a single station or the whole state. I thought whole state, but the anomaly would be crazy high for such a large area. I’m assuming this is BTV or Morristown now that I’m thinking of it.

Insane statistic regardless, and pretty surprising that snowfall numbers were still pretty good up high. Lots of elevation dependent events that year

Try MPV. I’m at 1250’ and recorded about 110” but could never really sustain a seven snow pack.

76/68. still pretty thick out there at midnight.

Wow. 58.8/56.8 here.

Dews are finally dropping... from 63F to 55 in the past couple hours.  You can feel the relief finally.

82/55 now.

Didn't realize the dews were in the upper 30s in parts of Maine, wow.  What a gradient.

 

We had a snowmobile club meeting this evening and just sat outside the garage. It was so nice. I think I could have slept out there. 

Storms blew through here 6:00-6:30. We were called off the golf course before any weather hit. By the time we got back to the clubhouse it started coming down really hard and winds were probably gusting 30+. The parking lot sustained a a little bit of damage. That’s my grey Mazda with the washout close to the tires.
