    I missed this thread somehow!

    Like you other guys, been itching to get out. I've been averaging the dome at least once a week. Got new irons (Z765s), and some other odds and ends. Been stockpiling balls. Can't wait to get out, my course doesn't open for another month.

    Goals? Drop my 14 index to 10. It's a steep goal, but I figure at least another 50 rounds this year should be a good start. I beat 50 last year, barring work travel there's no reason I can't do that again.

    Also, despite what npham says, none of his purchases were directly influenced by me... unless you count FOMO of equipment purchases

    Someone told me River's Edge is opening April 7th, but I don't see it happening unless we get consistent double digit weather.

    I would even be happy to spend some time on the range at the course...

    Are any of the outdoor ranges open yet this year? I went to the dome this morning but it seems like such a waste with the 15 degree weather we are seeing...

    Would like to get an hour in in the sunshine this weekend if possible.

    I don't know where you guys find the time to golf. Maybe fewer kids?

    It's such a huge time commitment to get out for a round, I'm basically restricted to corporate/work events nowadays...which is just a few a year.

    1. The range there has the shittiest balls ever. Combine that with hitting them when they're frozen, and it literally feels like hitting rocks. In the fall, I tried asking if they'd put a bucket inside for me if I called ahead, and he looked at me like I was an idiot - that's the last time I went there.

    2. It's "heated", but it's still cold as balls if there's any breeze at all.

    I think it's longer than that. Either way, it doesn't really matter. It's big enough that you can see ball flight (with all clubs except wedges), which is what matters. I taught myself to hit a draw this winter in the dome.

    I know whether my shot is good or not well before it hits the back of the dome...

    Bedsides. Range balls aren't going to give you a true idea of course distance anyways.

    I just go to work on my swing thoughts and have some fun.

    Dome is fine for everything but driver. Sure, lots of the other clubs hit the back wall, but like mentioned, I'll know if the shot was shitty long before then.

    You'll be regretting this, I just wanted it quoted to refer to at the end of the season

    I'm sure this will come back to haunt me now. Thanks, dick.

    Well you suggested it as an alternative to the dome for winter practise. Pretty sure it's been colder than 4C for like.... the entire winter when I was practising at the dome

    ^

    Hahahaha, I was just about to say as I was scrolling down about the draw comment. Can't wait to see it in action on the course


    With Nam getting that Elbow membership for the season I'm sure we will have lots of comments in this thread post rounds.


    @Buster, no kids = 50 rounds a summer

    I just cancelled my tee time at Glen Eagles(2 people) for 12:20 tomorrow. Someone can call and grab that time if they want to play tomorrow. I got too many things going on to play.
