I've been playing ONCE every two weeks due to rain every single day for this whole summer. The days that it is sunny I am busy with work and the courses are still soaked.

It's been way too hot here in Texas. We're in a record drought. They are starting to ration water usage in several counties. I went to the course today and it was completely empty. Not even a soul on the range or practice greens. I was out for 2 hours and think I might have gotten a bit of heat stroke. Apparently everyone else was smarter than me.

Southern Wisconsin - they said on the news this morning - will set a record for the coldest July on record. The old record was recorded in 1891 .... global warming my behind ...

My wife is from Wisconsin, Wausau in the central part of the state, and one of her main reasons for moving down here to NC was the weather. Even though I've lived here all my life, I'm usually the one complaining about the 100º heat. Here usual response is "You don't have to shovel heat off the driveway and roof every 15 minutes."

Woods: Acuity 3 Wood and 3I-hybrid

Yes temps this July have been great, but on south of you has been way to wet this year. Farmers will like it now if they got the crops in in time.

Coldest July on record in Western New York, and probably one of the rainiest ever too. It is a bit of a pain, but I haven't let it slow me down. I've played in the rain a number of times, and I don't think I've played a truly dry course up here this year.

I grew up in San Diego, and lived in Tucson for 3 1/2 years, and I miss both of 'em (especially Tucson) all the time-but I don't miss the drought. The entire southwest has been in historical drought conditions for a while now, with no end in the forseeable future.

I play in Waco a few times a year and it gets pretty unbearable fast come late spring and summer. In Texas you have cold and wind in the winter. Heat, humidity and wind the rest of the year! After living in SoCal for years it is hard to play back there, but I still keep a set of clubs there. SubPar

Where in Western NY? I play almost every day in Buffalo.

Been playing just a few months but I play almost every day.

What's in my bag: Distance Master Driver, Maltby Trouble Out woods/hybrids, Maltby KE4 Irons (all assembled by me so I can never blame my equipment).

I live in the North of Holland, our course is a couple of miles away from the sea. Ever had a 3 iron roll back? Thought so.

Honestly though, the weather here is almost hilariously bad sometimes. On these days, competition is about who can break 100.

I'm in Syracuse and can't believe how terrible summer has been, but I shouldn't be so surprised I guess. I've played in the rain, been rained on after teeing off and what not; I'm really sick of it, but I'm afraid of what winter is gonna bring us.

The weather has made it interesting, especially the "water hazards" that appear then are gone the next day.

    • Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.
    • Day 300 (!): did a stack session. 
    • Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.
    • but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
