Me too. I haven't ridden once this year despite the fact that I was given a season cart pass. I don't scoff at riders but I generally prefer walking and there are exceptions. If I'm playing in a tournament and it's slow, I like having the cart. If I'm playing a course I'm unfamiliar with, I like having a cart so I can ride up and take a look at what I'm hitting towards if it's unclear.

Lack of severe is getting to you.

I see what you did there.

The problem wasn't really with the amount of snow, it was with retention. That's my weather fetish. I'll take nickle and dime events all winter long, I just don't want to lose any of it along the way.

Don't bring a SNE jinx up here! We had our own struggle this past winter.

Pretty much the same with me. Reed is the other current guy I don't like. I've never had an issue with Ian Poulter though many don't like him. Back in the day I never had a problem with Nick Faldo and like him as an announcer. I never cared for Vijay Singh either.

I'd say character related. The thing is, there are tons of obnoxious jerks on the Tour. In fact, you could argue that you need to be pretty self -centered to make it there to begin with. It just seems like he is a notch above the the average jerk.

I have started to dislike him more and more. I'm not sure why

Ask DIT

I have apparently forgotten how to play golf. Was awful off the tee and with my irons tonight but thought to myself "At least my putting is ok". Then I 4 putt from less than 20 feet. I may need to take a break.

I have all Ryobi battery tools including a 10" chainsaw that works pretty well. I'm lucky that the closest gas station to me has non-ethanol premium and that's what I put in the lawnmower.

Nice. I've thought about going that way. Takes about an hour and a half to mow my lawn but was never sure about how long the battery lasts.

Same at my house. We were walking the bike path in Montpelier when saw a flash of lightning and did an immediate turnaround. Unfortunately, we were a mile and half away from our car. Got drenched on the walk back. Evidence of decent rain right up to about a half mile from the house again.

Took a ride this afternoon over to A&W in Middlebury. Root beer floats and car hop service. Really just an excuse for an old fashioned Sunday drive. Watched the temp drop to 77 at the top of Roxbury Mt. and down through Granville Gulf. Went over Middlebury Gap past the Snow Bowl and down to Rt.7. It was 91 in Middlebury. Back over the spine through the App Gap, 75 up there. Ran into some heavy downpours in Montpelier and it had rained all the way up to about a half mile from my house. Bone dry at home. At least my wife’s car had the pollen rinsed off.

I was 2-3 years old living in FL for 70-71 but I experienced 07-08 in all of it's glory. I'll take that any day.

That is a good deal. I prefer to walk and haven't taken a cart once this year. The caveat is that I don't mind taking a cart if I am playing an unfamiliar course. It allows you to check out the lay of the land and get a better understanding of where you can miss safely.

Time to form an AMWX scramble team.

I shot a 43 last night. Drove the ball decently but my putting was pitiful. 2 three putts. 18 total putts for 9 holes and that was only because I chipped in on the 7th hole.

Much shorter for me, of course I'm older than you guys. 250 if I really catch it

52 here. Might have been a mistake wearing shorts to play golf this morning.

A fishing pole?

GPS carts are cool, to a point. I was playing in a tournament once and we were waiting for the group ahead of us and the pro shop sent us a message telling us we were behind and would have to skip a home if we didn’t catch up. We were already waiting on every hole. I have a golf gps watch now so I don’t need the gps info, of course I almost exclusively walk anyway. They are nice for courses though because they can restrict where carts are allowed to go and even put speed limits in certain areas.

Played a relaxing 9 tonight. Shot a 42 with an awful 3 putt double. Other than that to only dark spot was the hellacious mosquito attack I suffered on the 7th green and 8th tee box. Beautiful night to be out other than that.

Wow, nothing really reached us. I could count the raindrops on the deck. It was enough for my son to stop mowing the lawn because he felt rain drops. I heard a few rumble of thunder but that’s about it.

Nice. Better than grass anyway
