Woof. Made a Quad on the 1st hole.

There's nothing similar about the set up

Day 3 Marginal Risk - get in your basements.

When's the last time anyone heard a rumble of thunder? Can't even buy a dying MCS.

In my opinion, my ideal US Open winning score is even par. If you shoot 72 four days in a row, your name should be near top of leader board. The player with the best combination of GIR and putting should win the golf tournament. However, for the British Open, I want creativity. I'll never forget a shot Vijay played years ago (can't remember how long ago). From say 50 yards from the pin, he purposefully played 30 yards left of hole and off green into a series of undulations that propelled the ball right to the hole.

Really looking for to the US Open this year. Just wish these pampered professionals would quit whining about the USGA and the golf course set up (see: Phil, Rory, Tiger, etc). Like shut up. You show up to the course, warm up, get a massage, have lunch, talk to your therapist, warm up again, and play golf with clubs perfectly tuned to your swing that someone else carries for you. Try strolling up to the local muni track 5 mins before tee time, chug 2 beers and go like the rest of us. Then let's see how they do. Brooks Keopka's comments yesterday really made me like him. Something to the effect of: "Those guys are complaining because they didn't play well."

Given current model depiction of early next week. I agree that it does look like multiple MCS could roll on through.

Also a Day 3 Marginal risk for New England.....surprised we don't have a thread yet.

At the Doctors office the other day I picked up the Golf magazine and read it through the the appointment, the nurse asked me how golf season was going. I replied with "It isn't." I've been out twice this year. This weather has not been kind to getting rounds in.

So I get to the office yesterday morning and the internet is out. Annoyingly, we're pretty dead in the water without internet. So I caught the 2:15 train out of the city and back to southern New Hampshire. It's 330 pm on a 50F and semi-misting day, so I figure there will be no one at the course and I'll get in my first 18 of the year. I show up and the parking lot is jammed. Turns out leagues have started. Luckily, there are two 18s and one of the 9s was open. I was by myself with no one in front of me or behind me by at least 3 holes. I played 3 or 4 balls on each hole. So 9 turned into 27-36. Played those 9 in 2 hours and got home in time for the wife. Was a good late afternoon.

Where's Wiz? Out by Albany for this squall line? Should be cool to watch line transition from rain to snow.

I'd prefer this storm just miss all together. Local golf course opened last week. Give them more good weather to continue to the winter cleanup.

Sent my clubs into the shop this past weekend. Getting them shortened by 3/4". They had an extra 2" in them, but last year I changed set up to have a more athletic swing and I started hitting things heavy. So shortening to account for that.

This thing is a beast on satellite.

Love this thread. Last year was the best golf season of my life. Got my handicap down to a 3. Shot even par for the first (i make a lot of pars, not enough birdies). Golf shop near me just put in two of those trackman machines. I was over there the other day, thinking about tinkering with the length of a few of my clubs, and the guy put me in the trackman bay. My 7 iron ball speed averaged 127.8 mph. Apparently that's quite a bit faster than the average tour pro: https://blog.trackmangolf.com/trackman-average-tour-stats/ Only problem is my that my spin rate was like 1500 rpms higher. So definitely need to find a lower spinning ball.
