  1. I played 9 Saturday, 3 or 4 holes Sunday and 9 Monday after work.
  2. This is where our course shines. We drain so well over 90% of the course that we very few water issues and never close the course to carts. Now, if the temp would get over 45° and the wind would die down, I would get out and play!
  3. We are finally starting to melt out. Our tentative target date to open is the 28th. The first picture is of our first fairway. The second is the par 3 4th hole. I haven't seen our upper fairways but the superintendent reports over a foot in places still.
  4. I’ve never been a Tiger fanboy but I’ve always felt golf is more interesting when he’s in the mix. What a win. There are tons of people who don’t like him and he has given them reason to but this was really satisfying to see. I remember watching Nicklaus win in 86 but this was bigger.
  5. With all the talk of Molinari, it still surprises me how little attention Koepka gets. Of course Tiger is the big story but a lot of the talk was of Molinari while Koepka has been just playing along climbing up the leader board.
  6. Cannot believe this thread has languished with the Masters going on. Of course, it was so nice here today that I didn’t spend enough time indoors watching it. What a packed leaderboard. Tomorrow should be a blast to watch.
  7. Cart fees are sometimes Calle trap fees but usually for member owned carts. The fine print says based on two year membership. I wonder if they require you to buy a membership next year.
  8. I posted this in the banter thread but it's appropriate here too. This is a picture of the clubhouse at my course. I took it Saturday. We usually open around the end of April
  9. Holy crap! Hmmmmm, can I make the commute?
  10. I don’t look at Fleetwood as choking as much is not executing the shot on 17. He knew what he had to do and took aim at the flag. If he hit it one yard more, he has a much better chance at winning. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out. The new schedule is great, a big tournament every month through August. I think the PGA in May is going to click and develop a character of its own and I like the Ooen Championship being the final major of the year. No competing with college football or the NFL either.
  11. What about Furyk’s shotbon 18 at the Player’s? Clutch. I’m sort of rooting for Rory though Furyk would be a great story.
  12. Pffffffffft! 4-7 with lollies to 10” he’s never that reasonable, unless consensus is a rainer.
  13. Let me guess, next up is a 163” with 3” paddles.
  14. Yikes. Glad you're ok. I know some guys who are riding in Quebec on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence and got caught in this storm. Too much snow on the trails so the SÛRETÉ DU QUÉBEC let them ride the road since it was closed to non-emergencytraffic. They did 110 miles on the road yesterday.
  15. I’ve always been more of a Tiger guy than a Phil guy and think things are much more interesting when he’s in the mix. Ernie was really my guy in his prime though. Love watching his swing still. As far as the young guys, I’m with you on Finau. He’s just got to figure out how to close the deal. I’ve liked Koepka too, ever since he decided to start out on the European Tour.
  16. In 2003, the summer before my son was born, I cut 5 strokes of my handicap, went from a 20 to a 15. I practiced and played regularly and worked on stuff. During the summer of 2004, it went back up to an 18. In the ensuing 15 years I have managed to whittle of a stroke here and there and got myself down to a 13. Of course this is almost completely based on playing at my home course. I seem to collapse completely when I play away from home
  17. Yes, we are open for public play. We are located just south of Norwich University and just over the mountain from Sugarbush http://www.northfieldcountryclub.com/
  18. Just tuned in to watch Pebble Beach. Graupel storms moved through earlier. Greens covered and the sunny 15 minutes later. They just called them off the course again.
  19. I’ve had one ace. I think the tees were at 135-140 yards. I wasn’t playing particularly well and this shot was no exception. I skulled it and if the ball hadn’t hit the flag stick and dropped straight down into the hole, who knows how far over the green it would have gone. The best part of the story, because I had been playing so poorly I was using a ball I had found, a lady precept with pink lettering. The boys had a good time with that.
  20. Nice. I wish I had the motivation to practice more. Truthfully though, since I became president of my small, non-profit, member owned course, my golf desire has been slowly squeezed out my soul
  21. We may be the only two that post in this thread lol.
  22. There is usually one in the Sports forum but I'm fine with it here as long as the mods don't mind.
  23. Those E. MA guys are fine sprinters but PF, JSpin etc. are fine marathoners.
