Here in Cincy all of our snow has melted and I'm planning on playing everyday this coming week (45, 42,42,43,44) dry and sunny.  Should be good golf even with it being wet from the melted snow.

Sad the past couple days have been 50* and sunny here on the east coast but there's still a good foot left from the blizzard the other day.

Don't tease me mother nature!

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

Definitely bs with the weather the last 3 days. 50 and sunny and the courses are covered with snow. Such a tease.

here in arkansas, winters are usually fairly mild.  i've played in temps where the wind chill took it down to maybe 28 or 29, but i can't say i enjoyed myself very much.  my general rule of thumb is that if it's colder than 35, i'm not going to play.

ha ha love it. I made the mistake last time out to bring the higher tees, ugh what a pain in the ass that was. 3 holes in I just started using broken tees or tees already in the ground.

Played in 32 deg weather Sunday, with my under armor and hoodie I was good to go...  I actually plan on playing Saturday (suppose to be 28*) if the wind isnt going to be howling to bad.

Walked 18 today in mid 30's with an 11-18 MPH wind. Three other people on the 27 hole course. I wore my standard layer of holiday blubber with UA base layer under Adidas wind pants and a long sleeved Nike Fit Storm jacket. Thankfully the jacket is wind proof. The only part of me that ended up chilly was my face and my hands once or twice. I'm thinking of taking some gloves next time to put on between shots.

I've been practicing here, but the greens are frozen, so playing is a crap shoot. That, and it's been 34* for highs the last week or so. At least it hasn't snowed in a while.

Looks like rain and some warmer weather this week, so maybe a thaw is in the offing.

    • Welcome to TST @Camjr.   We're glad you've joined.  
    • Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.
    • Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,
    • I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
