RetiredBoomer Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Our club is completely closed. My wife only lets me outdoors to walk the dog, and then only after a stern warning about "social distancing," whatever the hell that is. Our supermarket opens from 5AM to 7AM three days a week for seniors only to minimize our exposure. My wife insists on going because she's a little younger and considers herself less of a risk. Thank God we're retired and don't have to bring the unpleasantness of work into our home. I'm not sure that I could have tolerated that, although I suppose I'd have had to. Except for not being able to go to the club, I'm not at all bored. I've got books, cable, the internet, my dog, and a well-stocked bar to keep me going. I've never been treated as being this valuable before! fozcycle, MDGolfHacker, MattF and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment
sirchunksalot Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I was able to get out today and get my first lawn mowing of the year in. I was starting to stress that by the time the rain we've been getting stops, I'd be living in a jungle. Now I've just got to get out and mow at the mother-in-law's. It was a beautiful 55 degree day to do it. Sent from my SM-N975U using MyGolfSpy mobile app fozcycle, tony@CIC and MattF 3 Quote Link to comment

Golf Dawg Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 My wife and I have been working at home since 3/16. IL cases have escalated to the point of issuing a stay home/local plan. Being in the higher risk group, that’s fine. I don’t miss the hour+ train commute to Chicago for work. After work, I head to the den to work on my WellPutt mat. I also use my swing gizmo from GC to focus on backswing length and waist turn. It’s been a touch crummy to set up the net outside. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.Been watching GC and on demand shows. We’ve caught up on some other shows. Stay safe and make the best of it.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy fozcycle and MattF 2 Quote Chasing my ball around the cow field, trying to avoid the “ruff.” Link to comment

CamDeen Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I have to say, I have been looking everyday for courses to play but cant find a club still open. I have been doing hours of putting around my house. Set up different holes on different rugs, carpet, etc, anything I can find to alter the speed.I dont have space enough for a full swing to be made so hopefully this quarantine time will improve my putting! A few more 1-putts would do the scorecard well! -Cheers MattF and HardcoreLooper 2 Quote Driver: TaylorMade JetSpeed 10.5 S 3 Wood: Taylormade M2 Fujikura S 5 Wood:TaylorMade r7 Fujikura S Irons: Taylormade P760s 4-PW +1/2" DG 120 S Wedges: Titleist Vokey 52, 56, 60 Putter:TaylorMade Ghost Tour Black Balls: Bridgestone Handicap: 13.

My kids have figured out they can do school work on Google Classroom in a fraction of the time they spend in a classroom. My kids have learned that going to school everyday means spending time with friends. Being quarantined means not seeing friends at all. Clients have figured out conference calls are the way to justify their existence. Clients have miraculously learned how to reply all........incessantly! Clients have decided they need every ounce of potential workload in case they are sent home. Thus reducing timetables on deliverables from me. I have lost what little faith/respect/trust in media I ever had. My wife and I have figured out we made terrible career choices! If my emergency nines weren't a priority before this mess, they have become a lifesaver. If not, I may be in a padded white room right now! I have a new observation to add to the list after the weekend. Does anyone know this "Marshall Law" fellow everyone is clamoring to take over leadership of this crisis? He sounds like the sheriff of some spaghetti western when I was a kid. Seriously, if you're on social media clamoring for Martial Law and don't understand the difference between "Marshall" and "Martial", delete your accounts, go back to your moms basement and leave the hard stuff to the grown-ups!

I tweaked the heck out of my back on Friday moving our daughter out of her dorm room quickly, I tried a few Orange Whip swings last night and that was a big NOPE so I won't be swinging a club anytime soon inside to start getting ready for when we're finally able to get back out on the course.

ballplayer002003 Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 I see a lot of you are talking about courses being closed down, and I am all for staying away from people! That being said, if they close down the courses, heading into the golf season, wont that destroy your course? I mean, if the grounds guys can't get in and mow and put down the necessary fertilizers/chemicals won't the courses become weed infested and overgrown? This could wipe out the season for a lot of places. I know this is really the least of our worries but just food for thought. What do you guys think?
