    Any possibility to open outdoor range

    In March, will there be any open outdoor range?
    Or golf course ( )

    I asked them, but they will open in April after the winter range close in Bell Sensplex.

    That's odd. They are usually clearing the snow, opening as early as possible and packing them in. There is usually a wait for a tee for the first week or so until the others open. I wonder who will be first this year?

    Is Kevin crazy.........!!! Does he know how much $$$$ he will be losing........ If we get some mild days mid March to end of March, his place would be jammed. We have all seen that other years when people are parking on the road, and waiting 3/4 hr just to hit a bucket.
    If he waits to open in April, I like many other club members may never need to use his facility. Once our club courses open which is usually mid April and could even be the beginning of April with any luck this year, we will use our club ranges and practice facilities.

    Kevin should have a 3-4 week overlap when both the indoor Bell Sensplex and his outdoor range are both open. That way, yes he can make $$$ regardless of the often unpredictable March-April weather.

    When I was at the Sensplex last Friday I asked them if they'd be opening the range later this year because of the indoor location. They specifically said that they'd be opening the outdoor range as early as they can (as always) and the indoor range will remain open until March 31st.

    I hope "as always" is the case. Just can not believe Kevin would not have the outdoor range open on those 10-15 C sunny days we get in late March.

    There's hope yet!!! Once we get passed this weekend, the count down begins!

    No kidding. We always head there as soon they open. It's been a ritual for the last few years. We go out and eat after a wacking our first bucket into the air and not a screen or net.

    Almost forgot, and to watch Colby hit his pattented backward shots. LOL

    He's impressive with that shot...I've seen him birdie some interesting par 4/5's that he normally would par or bogie.

    does he get a bit of a spin in there, like a discus thrower, or do the feet stay in that position?
