I've been playing golf 20 years in frigid Midwest cold and managed a new career personal best for 'most January rounds played!" Keep in mind, I AM NOT retired so golf is limited to weekend play because of the short days.  My previous record was 8 1/2 rounds set way back in January of 1993!!  .............and I crushed it in 2012....... 12 rounds +5 holes !!!

PS...I confess, I did skip out of work at noon today(TUE) and played 18.  Today is January 31st and it was sunny & 60.....I had to do it!!   I already had the new record locked, but I wanted to EXTEND IT!   LOL

Yeaaaa!!!!  I love it...

Congrats!! Part of the reason you broke your record is due to the unseasonably warm weather we've had. 60's in January?? Yeah, I've only made it out once...so definitely jealous.

believe U me........I played several "COLD WEATHER" golf rounds to set my new record. Yes.....snow has avoided my area, but playing 12 rounds in January=playing some golf in very frigid cold conditions.

It wasn't all warm and fuzzy.. it's been freekin' cold too....cold enough to shatter golf balls on impact.  I've teed off when wind chills were in the teens/20s...

The record is still lucky because we have had no snow.  If it snows, there is no golf........If it's just cold, I can adapt.....LOL

PS...playing to rock-hard frozen greens is no fun..................

Congrats on the new record. Just remember, records are meant to be broken! Still, that is a lot of golf.

I love global warming (I'm sure skiers would disagree) !!     I've got 2 rounds in so far in January & a bunch of outdoor practice field (range) sessions - amazing.

Congrats! I also set a record this year, I got out for 7 complete rounds and 2 nine hole rounds. About the same weather as you but it was probably a little colder by you, I tee'd off when it was 24 degrees a few times. Just as long as you dress warm and have some hand warmers you are good to go! Although, I don't think I've ever golfed in January before this year, as last year was my first year of being dedicated to my golf game. And this year I've set the bar even higher which will require more golf :)

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
