      Storm petered out before it got here. We only got 7" or so. Unfortunately, the long term forecast doesn't even show the temperature reaching "average" in the next 2 weeks.

       

      Global warming my ass.

      I feel Ya BK from the other side of Lake Mi. I am absolutely jonesing to get out and muck around when all this snow melts!

  2. For the first time in 2 years I'm not thinking of buying any clubs. I'm actually happy with my entire bag!

      Just think, last year at this time I probably had 5 rounds in and it was 80. This year we will be lucky to golf in April

      haha, at least you can console yourself with the knowledge that I was outside at work for almost 8 hours in the cold rain and wind and sleet.

      I've only hit the R1 once and the shaft probably wasn't right for me. But the SLDR felt much more stable with a better sound. It really feels like you can go after it and nothing bad will happen

      Went from a 56/60 setup to a 54/58 setup. I had a 53 (bent 52) that didn't see much use, so had it bent to 54 rather than buying a new one. So only needed to buy a 58

    3. MarcKilgore

      MarcKilgore

      Ah... I made the same change awhile back to tighten up wedge gaps (50/54/58)

      Too bad I'm working in WI this weekend, I would love to get one last round in. I'm in the midst of record number of consecutive weeks driving back to southeast WI... I lost count, but it's around 8.

      GolfSpy Barbajo

      Just heard Stonebrooke is opening up this weekend as well - and Bluff Creek.

  9. Winter store warning and predicting up to 6" of snow with rain/ice mixtures as well. I don't think my course is going to be opening on Friday

      I'd be inclined to put a hit out on Phil AND his whole family for this weather...

      Courses opening left and right down here. Stonebrooke opened Thursday, Crystal Lake, The Wilds and The Legends opening Saturday. Let's get it on!!!!

  11. It's been the off season for less than a week and I'm already bitten by the Ho bug. New putter project in the works with Spryevo and going to finish it up with a one-off Bestgrips gridiron

      Yup, I can already see the jokes coming, but it's going to be a blue Odyssey 2-ball with a short slant or plumbers neck, copper milled insert and aluminum ball inserts

      I've been there a few times before. It's kind of a nice place to stay in the swing of things.

      Haven't checked out MN Golf Academy yet, but I've been to the simulators at Bunker in Coon Rapids a few times last year and it was really nice. Plus they serve Surly in the bar :)

      inside edge is like that too.

  16. I guess it helps to actually have epoxy when trying to build a 3w

      hckymeyer

      Ha ha, didn't get to the duct tape yet. I swore I had epoxy, but went to put the tip on my 3w shaft last night and couldn't find it anywhere. Wife was not amused when I somewhat acused/asked if she moved it :)

    3. GolfSpy Barbajo

      GolfSpy Barbajo

      That's always a bad move Brian --

    4. hckymeyer

      hckymeyer

      I was looking all over for the epoxy, couldn't find it so I figured I would at least get the shaft tipped and prepped. Then realized I couldn't find my Dremel either, Bro-in-law still has it :( Not a good night for club building around here

  17. The circle of ho'ing continues. Only 2 rounds into the season and I just bought some Speedblades...

      The clubs look great!! Adams CMB w/ C-Taper S+. All at D5 swing weight and +1/2". I'll have to do an updated WITB, but I'm not sure I'm set with my hybrid right now.

      Compared to the Scratch irons I played last year I'm already 1/2 to a full club longer than last year. This could be interesting

      Definitely go visit 2nd Swing in Minnetonka... I went there for the first time this weekend and I felt like I walked into heaven. They have more clubs than you can shake a stick at. It'll cure even moderate to severe golf itch... Orrrrrr make it worse. There's only one way to find out.

    3. hckymeyer

      hckymeyer

      I've been to 2nd Swing many times, great place to hit stuff. I'm also going to try and hit up Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids. They have simulators for indoor golf.

  23. Golf-cation is going well so far. Played 18 Sat, 18 Sun, 36 Tues and 36 Wed with tee times already set for Thurs and Fri

      Amp Cells are working nicely, I'm finally putting a good swing on the ball and figuring out the distances. It's kind of fun to hit 140yd PW :)

       

  24. My Amp Cell iron review is up!

    1. GolfSpy Barbajo

      What are you going to put in 'em? You should let me know when y'all play.

  25. I think that's a new record, I made it 2 months without buying a club!! New Mack Daddy 2 wedge was purchased today though...
