It gets a little firmer and the rough tends not to grow much here in the NE corridor in the winter. Other than that course conditions in the winter actually dont change all that much. The superindentendts tend to let the course grow when it can and manicure very sparingly.

Well I was really looking forward to our courses opening up maybe this coming weekend, but we got 8 inches of snow yesterday and it is 35 degrees right now. I couldn't be more bummed. Spring in the upper midwest is a total crap shoot.

The worst condition I played in was last fall first week in November. It was 32 degrees and the wind was whipping and it started to sleet on us at the 14th hole. We played through it though because we knew that it would be the last time we could play golf for months.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times.

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
