I can't believe that here in central Illinois that I have been able to play golf three days in a row with just a sweatshirt on and it's the week of Thanksgiving.
I gave up golf 4 years ago and just started back up about a month and a half ago and got my wife playing now. I figured we had started so late in the year that we would only get a few rounds in before it was too cold.
So this Thanksgiving I will be thankful for warmer than normal weather. I am thankful for many other things also but the weather is it right now.

I know what you mean. I've put my clubs away twice already this year only to get them back out and play again. It can stay this way all winter for all I care...but sadly I know it won't.

Might be a little rain tomorrow, but I've got a round scheduled for tomorrow. Was working outside in a tee shirt today doing some carpentry. Gotta love this unusual weather.

I'm a couple of counties away, and I played nine on Friday.

A co-worker suggested we keep our clubs in our car trunks until it actually snows. Big problem is with morning frost. Courses won't let you tee off until frost burns off - frozen grass blades shatter when you hit them with a club, leaving an ugly gouge for spring.

Last spring I was out near Rockford and it was snowing while we played. Started playing in 40 degree weather, but finished in 20 degree.

I played yesterday at Blue Needles and it sucked lol. Had 17-20 mph wind, then it started to mist, what happened to the 63 degree weather we were suppose to have yesterday? I think my clubs will be put up when it get to be around 40 or so, I dont mind the cold to much.

Played at Stone Creek in Urbana on Sunday. Front nine were nice but back nine was windy. Still a great day with a decent score. Wind helps my hook. No one ever seemed to be behind us.

Not Illinois but NJ here and it was 60º and sunny today. The forecast for the next 10 doesn't look so promising but as a snowboarder, I'm glad to see it.

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

im down a little south of you guys, i live around Salem, IL. It was very windy yesterday here too and played 9 today just before dark. Forecast doesnt look the best for Thanksgiving, sunny but a bit on the cold side. I want to go out Friday, Sat and Sunday. Ive got a friend who lives down around Carbondale, hopefully will be a little warmer down there.

I told the wife that we'll go shopping early but if it's not raining or snowing I'm going to hit the course on Friday. I love the fact that it hasn't snowed here yet.

Its funny theres also a Stone Creek down south of Carbondale, two courses not all that far from each other with the same name. Might play down there this Saturday, its one of the courses with discount tee times on ezlinks.com, along with Crab Orchard and Franklin County Country Club in West Frankfort.

I think next year I will play Stone Creek, I just hate paying the price for it when there are other courses out there for a ton cheaper... Its probably one of the closer courses (10 minutes) but to expensive...

We had quite a bit a rain yesterday here in Springfield so even if I could brave the cooler temps I don't know how wet it will be. I am hoping for the best though.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
