New to the forum...just in time for snow

[Addicted2Golf]

I've been reading the wealth of information contained on this site for a few months and decided I'd finally sign up in hopes of being able to contribute in some small way.

This year was the first I got really serious about golf. When the rest of my foursome consistently used their "hand wedge" to get them out of trouble, I played every shot I could even if it was in big trouble. Right now my handicap doesn't reflect the improvement in my game because I spent a good part of the summer fighting a slice off the tee. Thanks to some good reading on this page and a lot of practice I am now playing a decent draw off the tee. I have only been able, however, to get 2 full rounds in since the swing change due to winter's not so subtle arrival.

This is a great forum and I look forward to spending the winter reading and learning until the snow clears.

haha, hand wedge, that's awesome. Yeah I try to play it legit too. It's good to get practice trying to get out of trouble.

I used my hand wedge several times yesterday. I also lost 2 provisional balls.(ironically i located the first ball hit each time) It just wasn't my day.

welcome!

Living here in SE AZ, we don't see much snow except on the mountains. I do have to sometimes put on long pants in the winter though. ;)

That's just not fair! This Saturday was nice and I was able to get 18 in, but Sunday brought a few inches of snow. It's a 5 hour drive to play anywhere without snow now.

The hand wedge is my back up wedge when all else fails

Hi everyone...another newbie to the forum and also a newbie to golf. I don't know what a hand wedge is but I just picked up a new lob wegde (60 deg). I'm from
Canada, and we expect snow by this weekend.

I'm new here also, nice looking forum and happy I joined. I know what you mean about winter golf. I live in Billings,MT and although we have mild winters here in the valley it's still not great golf. I did hit a bucket today and it felt good, no snow yet and temp about 58...not bad for day before Tday.

A hand wedge is how some people refer to people picking up and throwing their ball to improve their lie. Good luck making it through the winter. As you get more addicted to the game, winter becomes more of an annoyance.

Canada's a big town - what street are you on?

OK I get it "hand wedge", pretty funny. As for your question Sean, I'm in southern Ontario and get my fair share of snow too.

Our first snowfall arrived last night....time for indoor simulators and basement putting.
