powderfreak Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Almost a 40 degree swing already today. 80F off a low of 42F. Warm afternoons and no bedsheets stuck to asses, what a time to be alive. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Been 82-83F with full sun and low dews… I will say, after a quick dip in the ice cold river… anyone who says this strong June sun and 83F is “cold” when you get out of the water because the dew isn’t 67F is either drunk or high. Plenty hot enough to swim even with 48F dews. 3 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with you but yesterday unfortunately bumps this one to #4 ... maybe #3 if we can all concede yesterday was a 1 or 2er Did 18 holes at Stow "Achers" ( Stow Acres). The sky was incredible. Like peering into infinity under which the air was packed with sunshine in every direction. It was 79 over the open fairways with just enough breeze to not affect flight paths of strokes, but enough to wick the sweat away in cooling reprieves. Not impressed with the course though. They jacked the prices quite a bit while the quality of the fairways was not very good. Greens were only so so and wouldn't play the reads because they weren't cut well - certainly not the for dollars spent. Had a very embarrassing day though. I usually end with a 12 or 15 handicap by the end of the year - it's not a game I'm naturally gifted. Still, it was first out of the season and I ...eh hm, ran into an equipment failure of a most unlikely kind - bizarre. The parking lot was filled with convertible Corvettes to BMW SUVs, of course your pet Merc's and Lexi's, too. I think I might have seen something that looked a bit like an Aston Martin .... and of course, my Toyota Corolla. Hey, it's a "Sport" class so I had that goin' for my image. Which was clad in just an Izod cotton collard shirt over Kaki shorts, and pair of retired running shoes. Just squeaked into the dress code. But in all fairness, it was a 28 year old aristocratic larvae walking around in the 1200 dollar Rory McIlroy wannabe golf attire being the society types they have in mind. And as it were, I was teeing off on whole one. 11:15, ahead of several groups of 3 or 4 of the high cheek-boned privileged, all their eyes ogled upon me in their collective silence so loud I was nerved up like meth head when I swung my 1-wood. Only it would not be my ball that would make it over the immediate water hazard in the foreground, but the actual heal of the club! i It snapped right at the bottom of the shaft...somewhere between the Ferrule and Hosel, sending it over the water. The ball "blooped" in... All Golf nightmares coming to a sudden parallax right there and then upon that fateful moment ... A horror story of humility only made incaculably worse when after reassurance by my buddy, and a moment to gather my composure... I set back up with my 3-wood. It happen again ... I shit you not. Both clubs, in successive order. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You played the South course since you had to go over ( or in) the little pond on your first shot. I think it's going to become a solar farm pretty soon.

Maybe, that's why the heads flew into the water....they're 50 years old. But hey, I had a 2 iron head fly off a few years ago....I'm the last guy in the world who still uses a 2 iron. I use the head as a paperweight now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianW Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 7 AM update... Not as cool as previous mornings, as blanket of mid level clouds precluded temps from free falling overnight. In fact, Boston did not fall below 70 degs last night. Thus, off to a milder start and this will help temps peak to 80-85 away from the coastline today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
