What the hell does this mean? Can you try not speaking in code?

 

[AD DB Burner]

I live across the street from the course, I can confirm this report. Maniacs.

Hahahaha what does this mean?

Golfers were on Shennecosett Golf Course in Groton Connecticut playing in a 22 degree fahrenheit temperature condtion with a wind chill factor quite a bit lower than the actual temperature. Some were riding around in golf carts making the experience seem even colder than that. Mau stands for mauconnfan who is a regular poster on this board. I believe his username means Massachusetts UConn Fan. Just Guessing. He is among other things an avid golfer and may find what I typed amusing. How is that?

Better! Lol! Shouldn’t this be OT? I thought it was something about a crash and our basketball players were on ambulance carts. Lol! I’m always thinking the worst this year with the team.

Yeah what Idaho types isn’t code and he knows it’s especially not with me. Lol

As long as there’s now snow, it’s fine. Just need proper clothing. I mountain bike in this weather regularly and you’re nice and warm once you get going

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Probably OT, but I'm translating here.
Kudos to @Duncan Idaho his good job

 

[LBird33]

Groton has a golf course???

Playing golf in sub-50 degree weather helps with your ball striking.
Mishit a shot and you get immediate visceral feedback up through your hands and arms.

Yes I fixed it. OT.

 

[LIuconn]

Shenny has some really good holes, #10 especially

Sub 50 Chin? No wind and in 40s is nothing still on a mishit ( but how would I know lol ) it’s the low 30s and less that make you find the sweet spot.

The navy base has one I think or near there at least.

Edit: Goose Run

Groton has a golf course???

Started pre 1900 with a few holes. Belonged with the Griswold Hotel(present 16th hole) to Morton Plant who owned the UConn Avery Point property and mansion. Used to be private til the mid 60s now owned by the town. Redone by Ross it was a true links course until a land swap with Pfizer turned into a muni. Gets a lot of play still I think with local leagues.

He was talking to mau.

Meet him in Temecula

 

[mauconnfan]

Meet him in Temecula

Take a tour of Temecula Olive Oil if you do!

Played last Saturday. Went outside at 7:45am and had heavy frost on windshield. Course wouldn't let anyone until course thawed out around 8:30.
We teed off around 9; when we made the turn around 11, it was about 55 degrees and we were down to slacks and polos.

 

[storrsroars]

I'm impressed. Back when I lived in Quincy, I often played in the high-30s/low-40s, but below freezing was a no-go. I didn't even know course superintendents let you do that?

I can't imagine trying to take a divot on tundra.

You could have added “none of your business”, or ask nicer. ;^)

I was impressed until I realized you live almost as far south as you can in the lower 48.
