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.

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 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change.

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By RWold ·

      There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down.
