I've been thinking about this thread and my season all day. It's likely that yesterday was the last real round I play for 2010 - it's supposed to get really cold the rest of this week. In July and August I played the best golf I've ever played (3 full seasons now) and made it to my goals of breaking 90 and getting my index into the teens. Then, in late August I went on vacation and lost my swing there. I don't know what happened I just stopped being able to hit the ball. Now, just recently, I seemed to have found my groove again. A couple good range sessions and good ball striking on the course - which is the real test - and then...the season ends. Well, at least I finished on a good note. Better that then going into winter depressed about my game.

Happy off season to you if it applies


Played in beautiful 70 degree weather Sunday 11/21 here in central Oklahoma. It was probably my last day of the season as it's suppose to get into the 30's this week. Some of my friends are getting together Thanksgiving because it's free but that is probably going to be too cold for me.

The first snow is now falling, I think it's time to remove the golf bag from the car and wish the golf swing from the past two months holds during the winter break.

haha. Just looked in the trunk of my car this morning...seeing my lonely golf clubs that haven't been touched in about 1 month. I to need to remove them and place them in my frigid garage. No snow yet here in central Indiana, but its fastly approaching. We had some freak weather come through last night though..storms! ha

Hopefully I will make it to an indoor range this winter and play some virtual golf courses, and maybe if I am lucky make it somewhere down south and play on an actual course. I really need to focus on working out this winter...P90x here I come!

Golf season is over for me. Had a productive fall this year, improved my putting and iron play but I'm ready for a break. I've been going to the gym for a year or so steady but really going to try to go six days a week until spring. I don't have to plan when I do certain muscles now. I hate playing golf with really sore legs so always tried to do them early in the week but of no concern now. I have some goals I'd like to achieve physically so that will be my focus. I'm going to stretch every night with the wife for golf and health, but the gym isn't going to take strokes off my game. I'll be ready to play when March hits. I'll play par two golf (getting up and down for score) in march along with a couple of rounds, then start playing regularly in april. Man that is a long time. I'm really curious to what my index will do next year. I didn't have one this year and feel like I'm playing well so I expect it to go down when I get it again next year.

In St. Louis and will keep playing anytime the high is 45° or above. Played in mid-sixties weather this past weekend, low 70's yesterday and mid-fifties this weekend. My guess is I'll able to get a weekend a month for each of the 3 winter months. Early reports show a see-saw December and February with January being well above normal this winter. Not too worried about winter here.

I get down to Arkansas frequently for work and could use a 55° day down there to get out and play!

    • Option #2 because I'd add the condition that it's in a tournament. Because that'd mean I'd break par in a tournament. And I already have a hole in one.
    • Hole in one is nice, but those low rounds stick in my memory better. I have two holes in one (and a third on a pitch and putt course which I count as a half). I've shot in the 60s three times in the last 10 years or so and I remember each one pretty well. I'd take the low round.
    • Would You Rather #68: Would you rather make a hole-in-one on a perfectly struck shot, during a round where you otherwise played pretty poorly.  or  Would you rather play well all day and beat your personal best by let's say 3 strokes, but with no eagles.    I'd take option 2.   Although option 1 is always exciting, and rewarding. playing well all day is very exciting because I can also do the opposite. 
    • I've got two of them.  So for me it depends. If I'm playing with friends and they know me. I'm taking the hole-in-one. Because they know my game anyway. Let's go for the awesome moment/bragging rights.  If I'm in a tournament I'm taking the low round, because I want to win.  If I'm playing with a bunch of strangers, and I just show up, and get paired up. I'm leaning toward taking the low round. I could leave them thinking I'm better than I am. Plus for me that would be a 73. ... That would be cool. 
    • Hole in one is a lifetime achievement, so that.
