Drove by Casselview this morning. The snow has been removed from all the tarps covering the greens. Looks like just a thin layer of snow left before tarps are removed. Halleluiah :-)

i am so ready to play ...
I got email from Dragonfly and they hope to open by April 1st
I've had a timer on my website counting down to the day the season started last year.
20 days : 6 hours : 28 minutes
Hoping the snow melts faster. Last year at this time Emerald had the driving range open even with snow on the ground.
Syracuse will like have a course or 2 open early, the temperature there will be in the double digits for the most part in the next 2 weeks and webcams down no snow on the ground already
The forecast looks fantastic, hopefully some ranges will open soon.
Should the forecast be close to accurate we should be on the driving range in a week (fingers crossed)
As soon as the snow is off my side driveway pad mu net will go up and my indoor swings will be a thing of the past.
Article headline had me thinking a course was opening already. Driving ranges are better than nothing though! Should be too long now :)Quote:

Correct me if i`m wrong here but i have May 21st as the first day we were permitted to golf last year because the "science" indicated it was now safe to do so. Can anyone confirm when the first day was last year?
Maybe i`m thinking of the previous year or just losing it :)
No comment on whether you are losing it :-) .... but you are correct that it was May .. but 22nd. I remember petitions, bellyaching etc. etc. before things got straightened out.Quote:

Sorta coming back to me now, opened for a short time as you mentioned. Either way, at the rate the white stuff was melting yesterday...could be out there very soon! Could be dry-ish by Easter,or sooner!
I'm so pumped I am driving to Hilton Head on the 26th--already have a game booked :-):-):-):-). The "old mans" disease caught me or I would have already been there--better late than never :laughing::laughing:
Was out in Iroquois March 23rd last year. Was actually decent as well, pretty dry all overQuote:

Besides Haime, are there any other driving ranges open?
