It's been between -14 and -28 nearly every morning when I've started my truck for work for the last two weeks. I'm envious of your +30 at the moment. I blame global warming.

We are about to get the coldest weather I can ever remember around here. We have forecast lows in the 6-9* range with highs around 25* now until Saturday. Wind chills at or below 0.

I know you northerners will scoff at this, but in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area it is a big deal. I'm just thankful we aren't looking at a snow storm.

It's been a cold and wet winter so far. First white Christmas since the 1920s. We normally get about 3-4" a year and already I've seen 7-8".

Good thing we have global warming though...we could have already got a couple of feet!

I live in Central Texas and I played Tuesday, and three days last week. Granted, it was about 55 and a little windy, but not bad for this time of year. Some days it's 65 and not a breath of wind. Those are the days I live for. But, it's going to be too cold until next Monday where it will be back up to the upper 50's in the afternoon.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

The winter here has been really strong. I haven't played since first of December and usually I play at least a couple of times during December. Come on spring!!! We aren't going to be above freezing all month from the looks of it. This global warming is really bad, wait Climate Change...It is responsible for floods and droughts, heat and cold, what a joke.

i guess the average temperature here in charlotte is around 50 in jan/feb, but i don't think that we've seen 40 in 2weeks. i can't wait for the temps to go up a few degrees. You're supposed to be able to play golf all year long here.

I braved the cold last Saturday because I knew it was the last time in the next few weeks they'd even let us out on the course (they open it up one it hits about 38 degrees). I couldn't find my approach shot on the very first hole; it ended up being plugged in a pile of snow in the green-side bunker. First time that's ever happened to me.

Right now it's in the high teens here in AR, and it's not expected to get above freezing until Sunday at the earliest.

Today the high in Jax was 55....thats the warmest its been all week. Saturday our 8 am tee time will probably be 10 due to the grounds crew trying to keep us off the frozen greens. YEsterday afternoon I hit a shot short and it bounces on the water at the edge of the lake lol have never seen frozen lakes in FL.

Last night's low was -16°, today's high was 11°. I last played on Dec 21 (which isn't that bad for Colorado, I admit). That was the last day that the course was open. It is doubtful that it will open again before February unless we get a good long warm spell. The little snow we have on the ground just isn't melting.

I know our Sand Trap friends up North are used to dealing with tough winters but here in Texas we're not... This is the coldest and craziest winter I can remember... As was previously mentioned, we have already had three snow days, that doesn't happen here in Texas... Ice storms yes, snow storms no... Now I know what everyone means when they say cabin fever... Sunday is supposed to be in the 40's, I'll be on the course... Keep the faith boys

      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
