I don't mind being out in the cold. I'm happy to shovel in shifts and take it easy on my old back. 

If I miss the opportunity to shovel in shifts and too much of it collects that's when I use the snow blower. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I know you’re joking, but that would be really easy to do if I actually wanted to spend all day outside in the cold.

My favorite is after you’ve shoveled for three hours, you wake up to a fresh two inches from the “snow showers” overnight.

Typically here in Ohio, our first dose is going to be the wet transition stuff. Anything after that will be the powdery stuff that is a lot less of a problem. If we can avoid ice, a  little bit of dust isn't going to bother me much.

Well boys and girls, keep those snow shovels at the ready. Punxsutawney Phil just said there will be six more weeks of winter.

I can't believe that he's still a thing.   It's 6 weeks either way!   Just tell me when it's golf time!

So, wait, he saw his shadow so we get 6 more weeks of winter. So winter will be over on March 15th??? 

If he didn't see his shadow we'd have an early spring??? What does that mean? For many folks March 15th is an early spring. 

BTW - Did you see all the PETA people complaining about Punxsutawney Phil? They are asking for demanding we switch to an animatronic groundhog. 😝

Promise a big enough donation and maybe you'd get a PETA person to pop out of the hole.

It’s always golf time. Just need the proper footwear, spikes snowshoe, or in Western WA a kayak. Switching to a tennis ball is optional.

If PETA agrees to that, can we play "Whack the Mole" with them? whack-a-mole-pic.jpg

Maybe for the first time ever. 

After all, you wouldn't be hitting a poor woodchuck or whatever that thing is.

One of my best purchases was a really nice snow blower, at 66 it’s a life saver.

Depends on the size of the snow storm. If it is like 1-4", then I will wait. If it's more than that, I will try to do two snow shoveling. So, most of the time its just one time. A lot of time, I just let it sit in the driveway and melt.

When I lived in upstate NY briefly in 1994, my favorite method of snow removal was the erosion method.....😁

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
