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.

Played on New Years Day, a bit chilly, needed a windbreaker! The "Red Eye" Scramble, free Bloody Mary's !! Plus we won!

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

    • Yes, a ball going faster will go farther… but it's nearly impossible for "all other parameters" to remain the same. "A ball going faster with the same of everything else will go farther" is pretty rudimentary stuff. The entire swing. The handle moves the whole time. The golf swing is a matter of both translational and rotational forces. And yet it's also kicked out a little, as it's not directly behind the motion of the hand path at that instant.
    • bought a used epic driver 3 years ago treated me well i am 72 bought with senior shaft a friend of bought a brand new  ping 440 claims he hits straighter and added 10 to 15 yards on his drive i know drivers are the most frequent club bought is a new driver that much better
    • It's true that it is not always clear where to draw the line of "significant". But I would argue that saving half a stroke or more is definitely more than significant. According to the common meaning of "significant", which is all we have because the word is not defined elsewhere in the rules.  This is irrespective of the two stroke penalty for playing from a wrong place. That penalty is only for when there was no significant advantage.  And it is possible to tell to some certainty whether a stroke or half a stroke was saved by such tools as strokes-gained, experience of officials, etc. Applying the conditions listed in the definition of serious breach.  In the example in which a player gave themselves free relief from a boundary object, if relief was necessary, then that wrong place gave a significant advantage.  Though apparently there is some sort of verbal tradition that tournament officials have a higher standard of what they consider "significant". Much higher than one stroke. And they like to take into account that the player already received a two-stroke penalty, though that is not in the rules for determining what is a "significant advantage".  
    • Until I can find some positive things to post about my swing I think it’s about time to… 
    • How would you change the rule to make it more "fair", and still be consistently interpreted and enforced?  It may not be perfect, but as a referee I can watch a player and look at the ground surface and make a ruling.  How can it be changed to address different players and their individual height, weight, and shoe size?
