Just started golfing this year at 46. My wife started with me although she's not as "dedicated" as I am about improving. Since we walk the courses (at my insistence), golfing sometimes seems too much like exercise...which she's not real fond of.

Anyway, I think I'm finally making real progress with my irons and wedges and it's almost time to start our annual 5-6 months of hibernation as winter approaches. I'm sure envious of you folks that live in climates where you can golf all year....even if it's not every day and even if it's a bit cold.

Welcome to the site from another New Yorker. Way up north on the Canadian Border. There is a ton of info available on this site, so soak it all up throughout the winter, and be ready to hit the course again when the snow melts next April!!!

Howdy from waaay downstate NY!

(Any further downstate from here and you're in practically in salt water) but welcome all the same fellow New Yawkah!

PS. My idea of upstate is West Point. Any further and I'm thinking about flying instead of driving!

It's a big state alright. Ripley to Montauk by road, 548 miles!

Golfing won't be possible much of the winter this year but our club used to play fivesome scrambles on the frozen tundra. Its good exercise but you have to make up imaginary holes to really have some fun.

So upstater, greetings from the Finger lakes. This is a vintage year for the grapes so the local wines will be great.

joshiemac25 - I will be in your area (Potsdam) on Thursday and Friday this week for business . I have two days of meetings but if my meetings end by3 or 4 on Friday I'm thinking of going to the Potsdam Country Club and playing 9 holes before I head back to Syracuse. I'm a relative beginner so I like to take the opportunity to hack-up distant courses when I can, so that the grounds keepers have time to forget me before I have an opportunity to return! My plan assumes that the weather is cooperative of course.

bigoak - Grapes, apples, etc are good this year. My 6-year old just picked her body-weight in apples at one of the local orchards so we're in the middle of apple sauce, apple crisp, and apple pie season. Your comment on finger lakes wines has got me thinking about a finger lakes golf & wine tour outing for my wife and I in the next few weeks before courses start closing. I might play better if golf follows our wine tour activities.

Any good vineyards you know of?

    • Day 13: 12/23/2024 A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between. Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish. 
    • Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…
