Not sure if folks think this is a bit weird but I'm quite looking forward to some winter golf. Now I do like the lazy hazy days of summer but there's something really nice with the challenge of the winter course and a bit of frost.

This year it's a pencil bag with driver, 3 hybrid, 5,7,9,SW, putter.

I prefer Summer golf, but I also love Winter golf.  Other than the drives backing up in the soggy turf there is generally nobody else on the course to slow you up.  I played behind a single today who took the smallest steps known to mankind.  And he appeared healthy and virile.  It was wait, wait, wait on every friggin' hole.  And it's only Autumn golf!

Sometimes because of Covid-19 I think everyone is driving (their vehicles) slower and playing golf slower.

Make sure to leave some room in there for the bottle.😀

I play with the same bag year round. Only exception is when I play a vintage round, and that is still with a relatively full bag.

Winter bag?  Sure.  Just take fewer water bottles.

I actually do not know what "winter bag" means.  Are we talking about different equipment with crappy grass and thick clothing?

We do not get much in the way of winter in these parts.  I usually lug around a wind shirt, an extra towel, and (on occasion) a flask of snake bite medicine...just in case.  

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

My winter bag is the same as my summer bag. I've truly never understood playing with less than 14 clubs. I know people say it helps with shotmaking, etc. But there is really never a time when I would have to hit my 7 iron when it was actually an 8 iron distance, so why would I need to work on that shot? I flight down a lot of shots when playing, but playing with half a bag wouldn't make that any easier or make me do it any more than I do now.

Your winter bag sounds like a great plan! Do you record this in a journal, or something similar, so that next year you would use a different group of clubs?

The only change to my bag back when I used to play in the winter was the addition of a scratch awl until I upgraded to a rubber tee.

I love fall weather golf.  Nice cool, crisp mornings.  Just can't beat it. 

However, stupid leaves drive me crazy especially when you lose a ball right in the middle of a fairway.

As for the bag, the only thing that changes is I will use old found golf balls more.  Why?  (see above).

I think of a winter bag as similar to a Sunday bag. Smaller golf bag and club set and a plan to walk and carry rather than ride. Shorter days and early darkness, so you’re probably only playing nine holes. I remember those times with my father very well.

What I hate about Winter golf, bag and all, is that my rangefinder won't read the distance to the pin through the fog.

Fog? Well aren’t you the lucky one! Try using it with blinding snow and blizzard conditions! I used to walk 16 miles to school, uphill all the way......

Oh heck yes.  Irks me.  I wonder if using a green ball would help. 🙂

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
