    The Snow. I just can't... Where can I drive to go golf next week?

    Seriously. I know it's gonna pour rain tomorrow, but I just can't deal with this snow. What's within 3 hours driving distance where I can enjoy non-winter conditions?

    I was thinking something more like New York or Pennsylvania.

    I looked up open courses in the Syracuse area and none indicate whether they are open yet... The ones I tried to book didn't allow me to select a time, so these may be closed at present. Mill Creek south of Rochester is beyond the three hour driving time, but they do say they are open. Having missed going to Myrtle Beach with you this winter, I'll go south, just say the word....

    Well, I'm surviving right now by streaming the masters, eating corn chips, and drinking a latte.

    I called fox fire. They were open most of March, but are closed today. The Fellow on the phone figures it'll be another week til they're consistently open for the season.

    Where am I gonna drive to next week to golf? Scranton?

    I've already cleaned my clubs and grips, and even applied all the golf canada I.D. stickers to my clubs. Then ordered 4 dozen personalized balls... I think this evening I'm going to work on my sun mountain cart wheel alignment.

    Watch the Masters. Don't look out the window. It won't be long now.

    Update: I've put on my Kapalua golf-shirt and my Augusta National belt (not to be confused with a Masters belt). Also spent an hour Internet window-shopping for luxury golf wear.

    I am gonna go hit balls at the Kevin Haime, which I've confirmed is open today. I was watching the Masters featured groups stream, but it looked like Jason Day was gonna struggle a bit with Kuchar and Els hacking it all over the course.

    Update: While window shopping for golf wear yesterday I spotted some nice Dunning golf shirts at the Winners at Bayshore. Mediums on up. Sadly, I'm a small in Dunning (but a medium in literally every other golf shirt brand).

    5cm tomorrow and another 5cm Monday morning.
    We are not golfing for another 2-3 weeks at the minimum
    Skiing is a better option
