Did you mean if I will need someone to complete the foursome?

If so you are more than welcome to join, grandparents are members and they are gone to Scottsdale by that date already so it is just going to be me out there playing (maybe a brother in law will join a couple of times out). I will for sure PM you to play when I'm in town.

Played today in 42 degrees with my mom. I loved every minute of it. Kept thinking about my dad who passed away 2-1/2 years ago. We used to play a lot as a family. Just wish he was still here...

Negative. If it's not 50 or above I'm staying inside.

Make that 60 or above here...

You guys with your 30*-40* play are totally out of your minds!

Winter golf in the UK sucks.
Soaking wet fairways and temporary greens? Horrible mats to tee off from?
Frozen fairways and greens with balls bouncing 20 feet up in the air and finding bushes they have no right to find?
Break out the Monopoly.

...is what we have in Finland between October and early May. Although, the cold weather is good for practising ball-striking. Hit anything but the sweetspot and you want to let go of the club.

No one is allowed on the course early mornings. Competitions start around 11am and on a cloudy day by 5pm. it's already too dark to play. I'm seriously considering flying to Portugal or Spain for a few weeks during the darkest months.

My Aerolite bag contains:

VR Tour Driver Project X 5.5
904F 17* 4-wood Sabre Stiff
MP68 3-PW Project X 6.0
52* Vokey Spin Milled -wedge

Redwood ZB

I prefer a ball, but may occasionally hit almost anything.

If it's a blue sky and the sun is out, I don't mind playing when it's cold. Still, the body tends to stiffen up, hands get cold. It's delightfully fresh though, being outside in the crisp fall air. Just gotta wear something to keep you warm. I'd rather sweat a bit than play golf being cold.

I don't mind the cold so much. You really have no choice here, you either get used to it or lose 2 months out of the already short enough golf season.

Plus the cold weather gives me a chance to don my argyle sweaters and sweater vests with slacks and not look like a total douche or sweat my Pro V's off.

    • Day 9 (17 Mar 26) - Worked with alignment today to work on getting properly lined up with target point using alignment rods.  Worked on getting takeaway parallel to alignment line.  Solid session. 
    • Day 212 3-17 Flow work and arching. Hit some foam balls. Recorded 
    • Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod  
    • This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
    • Great year last year. Who winning this year could be another special story? Brooks? Spieth? Or Aberg? An AM? I dont know if anything could top last year
