It's starting to get good for golf as far as weather goes here. I can play all year so I can't complain, but in winter it's usually better. I prefer to play in cold, rainy, cloudy conditions than playing in the heat of the summer.
And by cold I mean no less than 14C. It never gets lower than that.
My achievements:
Eagles: 0
Birdies: 18
Best Round: 89

It should warm up to the mid 60s here next week, I'm gonna try and go then. Probably the last time in '09, the year I took up golf.

You live in Houston right?

Surely the weather there is nice enough to play most of December and plenty in Jan/Feb? I was shocked to hear from a few people down there yesterday that you actually get snow there, much less in December. 30 miles off the Gulf I would assume its pretty nice during the winter there.

It just snowed yesterday, actually. But yeah it stays fairly warm but it can get cold too...but I got family and stuff coming in week after next so I probably won't be able to go the rest of the month.

Well I guess its all what is cold to each individual.

I was out hitting balls at the range last night (open range) and it was 22F! Took me about 20 for my feet to "thaw" out after leaving.

We just had a brutal snow storm last night. The winds created 2' to 3' drifts around the cul-de-sac. I did get to spend about 1 1/2 hours on a quad with a plow clearing out the driveways and road so the neighbors could get their vehicles out. Now I am looking outside and realizing that it will be quite awhile before we see green grass again. Sigh... I will have to be content with the Golf Channel and perhaps a spontaneous trip down to Phoenix.

I went out to a local course in my backyard and practice various chips over some water. It was nice because if I came up short, the water was frozen solid to I could retrieve it easily.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

I played 9 of the coldest holes of my life yesterday. It was 29F before the wind which was blowing at 20 mph. The weather report said the feel was around 17F. It was the most miserable fun I have ever had. The iced over lake on a par 3 turned a double bogey into a par when the ball bounced off of the ice onto the green so I could 2 putt for par. I don't think I'll be doing that again any time soon.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
