Welcome, alot of good people in here that really know their stuff about the game. I'm also waiting for the same thing. Got about 10 inches right now. Even when it does melt off the course will be a mess.

Dayton? And you're complaining about winter? I've played 4 times since Saturday at Mound in Miamisburg. Saturday was a bit cold (16F when we teed off) but it was tolerable. Monday and Tuesday were beautiful. Today was a little chilly but not bad. I can't wait until tomorrow. The high's supposed to be 40! Looks like a fair amount of snow in the forecast starting Friday so I'll probably be spending a lot of time at The Practice Center in Franklin, waiting for the snow to melt so I can play again. All in all, this winter hasn't been bad at all. As long as there's no snow on the greens I play regardless of the temp. Just remember, thermal underwear is your friend.

I tend to take divots when I hit my irons. Frozen ground is very bad for my elbows. I don't mind the cold, just the hard ground.

I knew this was coming so I thought maybe if I'd OD on golf last week it might help get me through it. I played at least 18 holes every day including 27 on Thursday. It didn't work. This is only my 2nd day away from the game and I'm already going through withdrawal. Looks like the snow's going to be with us for the foreseeable future too. WAH!! Oh well. Off to the driving range. That sucks too, though. The tees are heated but with the range covered in snow it's really hard to see your ball after you hit it. When it's like this I spend most of my time hitting wedges to the practice greens. It's all good. Just wait until warm weather. All those guys that took the winter off will be no match for my killer short game. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    • Got off to probably one of my best starts ever last night.   Was -1 thru 5 and finished the front 9 with a +1 (37).   The back 9 wasn't very good but we were playing speed golf to try and beat the darkness.   Ended up with 37/44 for an 81.   Still a great score for me.    My last 5-6 rounds have all contributed to my handicap index so we trending in the right direction.
    • I don't see the swing speed as any advantage or disadvantage either way. While they don't have the "WOW!" factor that some of the men have. i.e. "Did you see Rory's 380 yard drive on 17!" That kind of thing. They do, however, play the courses shorter. I think their average LPGA Tour course is like 6400 yards, compared to 7300 for the men. So when I watch it on TV it looks kinda the same. They hit driver then 8 iron, just like the men hit driver then 8 iron. I don't really care that the hole is 100 yards shorter or whatever.  Let me put it another way. If I was to watch the WNBA and then watch the NBA, I would immediately notice how much slower the players are. How much more the men play above the rim. etc... Why? Because the court is the same size. The hoop is the same height. When I watch the LPGA Tour and then watch the PGA Tour, I don't notice (as much). They hit driver then 5 iron into a par-5 just like the men do. Because the course is smaller, it looks similar. BTW - The same is true of softball vs baseball. The softball diamond is much smaller. So, the line shots look similar, there are equally as many home runs, because the field is smaller it looks pretty similar in play.  Here's where to my way of thinking, they can make some hay. If the LPGA Tour was to lead the way in terms of pace of play they may be able to add additional excitement to their game and possibly start to make some converts. I'm an idiot who has never been a sports commissioner. But it seems that when MLB noticed their games started approaching 4 hours and Major League Soccer was always done in under 2 hours. They made changes to try to improve and it seems to be working.  With the LPGA Tour it seems you either need exciting personalities or need exciting play. If they improve the pace of play issue it could add to exciting play. Again, I'm no expert but that seems like an area they could lead instead of follow. It does seem they've recognized this. So, we shall see.
