Looks like the weather will remain pretty chilly through the first half of this week. All the area courses appear to be open now, although forecast rain may cause some closures and/or cart restrictions.
TYB has a promotional contest underway for The Masters, where contestants name their pick to win, and can receive anywhere from 30 to 180 days of free paid subscription time. Contestants do not have to be paid subscribers to participate, so please forward this email to any area golfer you think may be interested.

Golf Simulators in Tri-County HOI
After several years of procrastination, I recently tried indoor golf for the first time. Will definitely go again. See the article Golf Simulators Right At Home in Tri-County HOI for a list of and links to the indoor golf facilities in our area, as well as my thoughts on my first experience on a simulator.
Instructor Info Wanted
One information area lacking content so far on TYB is the Recommended Instructors List. You can submit your name (several local Pros here), or submit a colleague or a favored instructor’s name in the comments below that article, or, send a private email to me at theyardagebook@substack.com. If you submit info for someone else, I will contact that person to make sure they don’t mind being listed, and that I have complete and accurate information.
Please list all pertinent information: Name, Contact Info, Course/Club Affiliation, Special Focus (if any, like Women, Seniors, Juniors), etc.
When the weather does finally turn warmer, I would expect the demand for instructor expertise to rise sharply. Please send instructor info!
TYB Podcasts Coming
Have been testing podcast creation tools and services, trying to find the least-technical way to achieve quality interview recordings to make available at TYB.
Hope to have the first podcast completed and posted by or before Easter.
Until next time . . .
