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.

Hope this Ohio weather breaks early this year. My anxiety level to play some golf is rising by the hour.

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!!!!

    • He's not and GEARS doesn't really measure toward your midline. It's measured at the joint. That's not why his use of "midline" is bad (part of the reason is that your "midline" is twisted, the top of your sternum can be pointed at a different place than the belt buckle, and your shoulders protract and retract, too. I think he's just trying to use midline to say which way the arm is moving. But they have terms for that — adduction and abduction — so whatever.
    • They weren't necessarily short - I don't remember the exact specifics of all of it, but some of them were missing a little left or right or both. Day 1 they were landing on the edge and kicking on, where day 2 they were just missing and kicking down into the bunkers and did it a lot. I think all told I actually went into bunkers on 8 holes. Some of them were not good shots. Like a few examples, on 8, the pin was in the back. I hit it solidly, but pulled it and it went long, over the bunker into long grass. I had the ball in sandy earth with long grass around it and about a foot below my feet. That next shot I tried to do what I could but it went into the bunker in front of me. Into a footprint. That one I dug out of the footprint, but still in the bunker. Got that one out of the bunker, but into the fringe grass in front of me. Chipped that one on a bit hard and two putts later made a 7. Another was on 14. The flag was on the little finger of green front left. I tried to play a little past it and a little right. Shoved it maybe 10 yards right of where I wanted to and the carry over the bunker gets longer the further right you go and that one hit the grass between the green and the bunker and came back down into the sand, left it in there and didn't get up and down on the next one. I think carrywise it carried about as far as I was planning on it doing so. Another was on 6, leaked my drive a little right into the fairway bunker. Hit a nearly good shot from there that went a little left and a little short and kicked into the bunker front left. That was a strike thing and just a hard shot. Did similar on 18. Drive in the right bunker, slightly heavy second that hit the bank between green and bunker again and kicked back into the sand. I think the tiredness manifested more as not squaring the face up so well and less as slowing down.
    • Depends on how short you were coming up on these shots. A bit more wind? Also, maybe you were swinging at 2-3 mph slower the next day.  I think the biggest thing is not adjusting. Like making assuming your stock shot is not enough and taking 1 club up. Not sure what type of adjustments you were making in your decision making. 
    • No one should measure a joint mobility away from that joint. If you go to physical therapy, they are not measuring your knee mobility based on your midline. It is based at the joint. Shoulder mobility should be measured in reference to the shoulder joint.
