Not sure where you are in Illinois, but here's my golf forecast for Saturday, keeping my fingers crossed.

Hehe mine was a slight exageration its been in the 40's constantly, but a couple times we've gone out expecting 40's and it was in the 30's by the end of the round.

I live about an hour south of chicago.

Oh dear God, what am I thinking? I have been sweltering in the south Florida heat for the past month and a half, and my boss has been telling me I have to go back to east central In by Monday. I don't want anything to do with that crap ass weather. I think I could get used to playing in 90 plus weather in the summer so I don't have to ride that sping and fall weather roller coaster. What to do , what to do. If the economy wasn't so bad I could proabably find work here , but the unemployment rate is higher here than in the frozen tundra of artic Indiana.

Quick question for my fellow CWG (Cold Weather Golfers)… What do you wear when the weather is in the 40s?

I just wear UA cold gear mock under my regular polo and I'm fine. I might throw on a windbreaker if it starts to get wet or really windy, but usually nothing. I grew up living and working on a farm, though.

I live in the Lansing, MI area and have been out 3 times this year. Twice it was over 60 and one in the low 50s. They are now talking about snow on Monday. There is a saying here, if you don't like the weather today wait till tomorrow.

The weather around here has been kind of annoying lately. In the middle of March we had great golf weather, then we had a week or 2 of cold weather and rain every day, then we got 3" of snow last weekend, this past week it was kinda cold and rainy.
Today was nice, very little wind, bright sunshine and temps in the 50s but we are supposed to get 3" of snow tomorrow.
Thats typical late March/early April weather though. We are in that transition time between winter and spring, so the weather can range from temps in the 60s one day to being cold and snowy the next.
Oh well, I managed to play some golf today while the weather was nice before the snow comes.
I will definetly be glad when we finally transition to spring and I can start playing at least 3 times a week.
Between the weather and me being sick for the past week I havent been able to play as much and it shows.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By iacas · Posted

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
