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.

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.

      Day 364: About an hour and a half practice session. Spent most of it at the range. Did a solid 30 minutes of work on my priority piece, with filming. I think it's improving, but will probably check in on Evolvr to make sure. Then spent the last ~20 minutes putting, working mostly on short putts.

      Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.

      This is a great discussion. Other parts of the course where there are houses have white stakes and signs. This keeps people from trespassing and hitting shots on their property. There is another county road on the east side of the course that does not have white stakes like the hole I described. I checked the score card and there is nothing to indicate these roadways are OB. I think a county drainage ditch would be considered government right-of-way so it is the peoples land 🤣. But you are in the power industry and know more about those sorts of things than me.
