  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Pffffffffft! 4-7 with lollies to 10” he’s never that reasonable, unless consensus is a rainer.
  4. Let me guess, next up is a 163” with 3” paddles.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. 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/
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. We may be the only two that post in this thread lol.
  13. There is usually one in the Sports forum but I'm fine with it here as long as the mods don't mind.
  14. Those E. MA guys are fine sprinters but PF, JSpin etc. are fine marathoners.
  15. Probably the sentiment that has been expressed more times about more things than anything else in the history of AMWX/Eastern
  16. That illustrates the two bands we saw on radar yesterday. That's a pretty good stripe up the eastern side of VT down through western MA and CT.
  17. Apparently some mid level magic made its way to north central VT because have about 24". Pics below. Excuse the Ginx quality tape measure pic. It reads 20" when I took it at 7:00. The deck had been cleared after the last storm as had the other surfaces in the pics, including a large portion of the back yard. The snow was exceptionally light and airy. It was easy to wade through. Still snowing too.
  18. While I was sitting at work in Montpelier watching a nice snowfall with 5”-6” or so by the time I left at 4:30, apparently there was something special happening here at home in Barre Town. I thing there is well over a foot that has fallen and it’s still just puking snow. I will post pics later. When I checked just before I left work, it looked like we were in the northern reaches of that band that stretched into CT, as PF had mentioned earlier. Wow, had expected less than this over a longer time frame. This is a surprise.
  19. Man, would love to have Allenson back posting.
  20. The same as it will likely be for the 2024 eclipse
  21. Who doesn't enjoy a nice meal of hat now and then though?
