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.

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

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.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      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

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      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
