Today I woke up and was immediately in a good mood: weather.com said the high in NYC metro area was 42, sunny, and low wind. In other words, a GREAT day for golf!

So I drove out to Pelham Bay (about 20 min. drive) and arrived at the course. The parking lot was deserted. There was nobody anywhere. Just me, and an empty course.

Of course is was then that I realized we got 6 inches of snow two days ago, and none of it had melted. Then I realized that I drove by snow covered fields all the way to the course, and didn't notice that either. And it was THEN that I realized that I have SGDD: Seasonal Golf Denial Disorder. I have noticed that SGDD gets really bad this time of year: the golf on TV looks so great, but the weather around here sucks, and I am so into the golf on TV, that I develop a denial about what its like here.

Anybody else have SGDD besides me? It helps to get it off your chest. . .

You should have asked Scottie to send out some of the greenskeepers to plow the snow for you. The only thing worse is going out to the course, mid-week, during this time of year and finding 100 or so people on the course. You stand there, asking yourself, "Why are these people here?"

Winter golf, nothing like it.

Well, I have a tee time for 9:26 tomorrow morning and wondered through the rain today what the course will be like tomorrow.

Oh, heh, I am struggling. This has been a bad winter - ice and snow persistent throughout most of January and February. I haven't played since the first of this month, and the last round before that was New Year's day. So I'm about to go postal here.

During a good winter, I could play all through it, since "winter" usually means 50 degrees...not this year. Global warming my ass. Al Gore is an idiot.

When the patch of practice dirt in the front yard gets so deep it turns into a puddle when it rains, you know spring has GOT to be around the corner.

A week ago the weather was great for a few days, but the clubs stayed in the closet and the weather turned terrible again, . . . why play one time and get the taste . . . a taste of honey is worse than none at all . . . best to wait till the weather stablizes and so you can get into your game again.

Careful guys; on most of the internet, saying that risks causing global warming from all the hot air its advocates will put out reacting to your statements

Meanwhile, we've got a cold winter too. It isn't just "global warming, no way" it's "global warming, I hope so!" or "global warming, I can't wait!"

Man, when I started this thread I was pretty low, but reading these hilarious responses is making feel MUCH better.

LAMEBUMS, I am thrilled to hear that a good winter means endless golf in Kentucky. My NYC apartment is going to implode with excitement TWO WEEKS LEFT!

Shut the hell up, lol. People that get to play golf year around, or close to it, are not allowed to post in this thread. So go away.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 18 (September 22).  I understand the two club drill better, and was alternating that and hitting a few smooth 6-iron shots;  indoors, off a mat, into the net.  I spent about 20 minutes on this thus far tonight.

      Winter Depression Thread

      By Shindig · Posted

      I don't know your family or work situation, but have you considered relocating to Arizona?  I was out there the past month or so and played quite a few times;  it's hot, but not humid.   Or, if your house is sufficient size, consider setting up an indoor practice area, so at least when the weather or your schedule isn't cooperating, you can still hit a few. ... said Shindig, who has routinely disappeared for months, sometimes a year or more, at a time because of getting busy at work and just quietly sobs to himself as he walks past the room where his mat and net are during that time.  Dang, I need to not allow that to happen again.

      Winter Depression Thread

      Thanks and it already has! Like I said, the last three months of my season were the best golf I've ever played. I'm within the realm of "this is fun for me" now. It was super tough grinding thru that break 90 consistently zone where I just kept hitting the toe, I kept popping up and out of every shot, getting steep. I am one of those guys doomed to shoot 95 forever if I don't really put a lot of work in, and I just wasn't gonna go out like that. My goal is definitely to get to that point of playing lots of courses and stuff like you are, but it's been the right thing for me to focus on developing a better motion. The amount of gym work too I've had to do? I see a DPT with TPI level 2 certification twice a week. I'm in the gym five days a week. The sun zaps the crap out of me for the gym too and I need that energy for all the other things I do on top of this stuff. I'm not really trying to become scratch either tho that would be nice! I'm just enjoying the puzzle that is golf, trying to overcome its challenges in an efficient and smart way. I'm very aware of the physical limitations I'm fighting so this summer has been continuing to address those with a good therapist.  But that's awesome, my goal is to get out there and enjoy new courses, play more rounds, just like you're doing! We'll see how this season goes, but I might be near doing that, if I'm not there already. I was only losing like one ball a round over those last three months or so, which is great for me on these sometimes tricky Florida courses.
