All the snow last week here in Indiana caused an indoor blow up roof style practice facility to colapse and my favorite heated outdoor driving range plowed out to 120 yds and is only allowing practice with wedges, but hey here in Indiana it's suposed to be 50 and raining this weekend......GOOD BYE SNOW, but what do I care I'm headed to Okeechobee Florida on the 17th if all goes right, and there it's been sunny and around 80

WHAT!?!?!?! What days were you able to play? Did you travel to play?

I'm in West Central IL, 5hrs SW of Chicago. I played Jan2nd & 3rd and Feb1st (stats in scorecard link below) and it's gonna be 58 tomorrow! :D

I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

In my bag todayâ¦.

hopefully most of the snow is gone this weekend... i'll be in Champaign for classes and the U of I courses will be calling my name.

I love that course. I usually get to play it once a month.

Do you prefer the Orange or the Blue Course?

How are you people managing to play in Chicagoland?! There's still like a foot of snow on the ground lol. There's a heated range by my house but I was just wondering if they're even open right now? I remember seeing that it's open all year but snow on the ground will give no bounce and roll! lol

I went to The Golf Center in Des Plaines. Heated and covered tees. And they have 90 percent of hitting area plowed and so you can see the targets and the bounce and roll were just fine.

    • I think it’s more about conservation of angular momentum. If the hands didn’t slow down you wouldn’t release it and the clubhead would barely be moving faster than the hands. The hands start pulling up and back as you near impact, which makes the club rotate around its own CoM as well as rotating around the system, which makes it move faster, which as you noted is the idea.    You can watch all this happen if you find a YouTube video of a pro golfer face on and go frame by frame you can measure on your screen how far each piece moves per frame. As those distances change that’s acceleration and deceleration. You’ll see the hands slowing down and the clubhead speeding up
    • I see, so it must have to do with the shaft being flexible and bending as you swing it. 
    • The hands have to slow down to get maximum club head speed at impact. They are essentially braking to crack the whip so to speak.
