Getting the itch

[jlh1508]

I am so desperate to hit the course. I finally am at a point in my career where I can golf on a regular basis and afford to do so.


I have spent 3 -4 days a week at the dome during the winter. I think this spring and summer is the time I finally begin to become a consistent golfer because I will be able to play more then 5 - 8 times a year.

But as the snow was melting and grass was beginning to be seen, mother nature decided to dump another 6 inches of snow on us here in mid Michigan yesterday.


I am desperate to get outside and hit the course.

I think alot of us in from all parts of the country are feeling the same thing. This has been an unusually harsh winter.

last year here in PA i played through December, i took my son golfing with his new sticks on January 2nd. Shut it down for 4 or 5 weeks, played 2 or 3 times in February and every week in March...this year I have not played since the friday before Christmas!! There is still at least 6" of snow on the gorund and no good news in the forecast.

Freakin winter sucks...we need global warming to speed up!!

Saturday and Sunday were GREAT. But it didn't last long, our driving range hasn't been open since October.

I could afford more golf when I was younger, single, and lived in a one bedroom apartment. Thanks to a mortgage and saving for the future, I wave goodbye to a season's pass every month.

My wife actually encourages me to golf more, because she knows how much I love it. However, she does not endorse the amount of time I spend on-line or the iron sets I pick up on Ebay.

I think it may be northern hemisphere u meant instead of country because it has been very harsh over here as well

i'm with you guys, can't wait to get out there. i moved south a few years ago and thought it might benefit my game, ha, not working out thus far. it was so nice over the weekend, 60*, now it's back to 35*, what a tease mother nature can be. i'll start putting around the house and hitting a few wedge shots over the couch...maybe i'll be able to get out in a few weeks.

at least we have these forums to help satisfy some of the itch.

Michigan guy here as well. Just getting back into golf this spring after about a 10 year hiatus. I can't seem to stay out of golf stores as I watch the snow melt and then get dumped on again.

I'm a Clevelander, so I feel your pain on the winter. I last played a round on December 27th, and that one was quite a stretch with snow flakes in the air. I've been at my range (heated and covered) every Friday-Saturday-Sunday of 2010. I'm hoping in a few weeks we should be out playing again.

I haven't been able to play since November 29th. Kinda sucks that I haven't even been able to hit even three balls with my new clubs that I got for Christmas. Christmas day I hit two balls with each club but because I didn't feel like losing too many in the snow and having them sit under a blanket of snow all Winter.

What range do you go to? I'm about 45 minutes away from Cleveland and being that I haven't swung a club since Christmas day I'd make that drive without hesitation.
