Professional Lurker

There is NO F-ing Way Foxboro has 10”.  I’m on the Same SE/NW line as you and have had snow longer by radar, and I have 5” and am 12 minutes down I-95 from you.  

.75" of arctic sand in Greenfield.  My C-2" call from Monday stands tall and proud.   This winter is still sucking hard out here.

Pretty nice glaze in deerfield.

Nice! Definitely jealous of both the cabin and the snow.

Curious though... how often do you use the hammock in the winter?

Pinging here to start. Lol

Lol sorry... I had to.

Pretty cool vintage ad, and it IS cool that you're in it.

One of the original advertisements for Powder Ridge has me in the picture.  Taken by my friend in January of 1992. They took it off the internet,  probably from Alpinezone.

I for one am aware of my climo, but I'm also aware of everyone else's too. I'm actually kinda pissed that EVERYONE around me has seen snow. I've seen about 10 flakes so far. .. like I said, not abnormal for me. But it's abnormal for my location at 600' and 5 miles from the VT border to be last.

Jealous, for sure.

It all depends on the setup. There's some marginal ones where I do better than most, but these early / late season storms seem to kill me.

... same with the fire hoses that crush the coastal pain but leave me with a crusting of snizzle. Those are the worst!

Gotta rationalize it though and use it to my advantage. Gotta get to the gutters today. Still have lingering oaks but there's no better time.

Yeah, I texted my coworkers and they said nada back home in Greenfield and Deerfield. 
Light coating on the cars here in Chelmsford.  Just starting to stick a bit on the grass.

Closing day today at my home course. The annual veterans day tourney has evolved into a true greenskeeper's revenge. Holes cut at a 45 degree angle, worst possible pin placements, etc...

Here's the 11th hole, on a practice green.

Accumulating snow for SE MA while Kevin gets rain in CT?

... I'm cheap.

That's why I work 1 day/ week bumping chairs, and it gets me a pass for myself and my family. Oh, and I get paid minimum wage to do it. Lol.

Been lucky here today. Only a few showers since 7 AM.  I was expecting a full misery day.
52° overcast.  Light wind.

Funny how I find my game peaks in early June. Struggling.

I think we need to start talking seriously about a golf gtg. What days work best for most people, and what course do we want to play?

Do we want something pristine and tough and pricey like crump, or something reasonable but lnsane like the Shattuck, or a long, cheap course like Westover?

Power flickers here at work. Rotation west of her scared me but cells merged, would have passed to my north of the restaurant.

How many shots does he get in your league? If a 14 played a 4 in our league he would just get one shot on the par 4 and 5's with none on the par 3's.

Fricken unreal. I'm done with my Thursday league.

It's mostly old guys with high handicaps. Today I played 9 holes, finished gross -1. Best round of the season so far... some asswipe with a 14 handicap (for 9 holes lol) comes in and beats me. I would have had to shoot -3 to win it.

At least I won both closest to the pins (6' and 7'), but still.... screw that.

I'm down for a golf gtg... just need some notice.

Played a quick 9 this morning, didn't have time to take any swings prior to the first tee. Double, bogey, then settled down.

Broke 40 for the first time this year, which was nice.

We could do Crumpin Fox too if that is better for  more folk. I don’t mind the drive to play a good course. 

Open to other ideas...

0.0”  not even a mangled cat paw here.   

No, I’m not. I’ve had the same clubs for maybe 10 years but had them regripped. One day I’ll get custom fitted. I just watch pointers/lessons on youtube and work on them in the mirror or in the garage over the winter so when the season begins I’m focused on them...but as the season rolls along I get away from it and tweak too much. Simplyfing the game works better for me but I get too technical the more I play. 

A few years ago when my kids were younger I introduced them to the thin cover, choose your line aspect of spring skiing. They loved it.

Here's one of their Instagram posts from several years ago from flying cloud at Berkshire east

I find that my game typically peaks in June. ...by August, sometimes I feel like I forgot how to play.
