we have just had about 6 inches of snow in the last day and it could possibly mean it is the last time i golf till the new season if the same happens this year as last year. Has anyone else got this problem already

Not yet, but its getting close here. I plan on going out tomorrow, but temps expected to be mid 40's with probably light rain. Give it a month, and I think it will be unplayable here until at least late March.

I've started searching for that software engineering job in the south, I'm done with this

We had about eight inches here on Saturday night and then another couple on top of that on Tuesday. I just moved here from the southeast so this will be my first winter dealing with golf shutting down. Luckily there is a heated and covered driving range just up the road from my house, so hopefully I can still get a swing in every now and then. My basement is set up with a mirror so I can at least work on some light swings and positions during the off season.

Its getting very close - tomorrow the high is 31* and windy, occasional snow flurries. Rained most of today.

It snowed about an inch a week ago and has been snowing off and on ever since. Not enough to completely cover my front yard though.

After this winter I've only got one more before I'm out of here and will hopefully never see another snow flake again. I could go the rest of my life without seeing a snow flake and would be completely happy.

I hate snow. I hate cold. I hate the north.

I'd miss the snow and change of seasons but this is getting ridiculous.  In a two week span, we had more than 38" of snow.  It's been a record December for snowfall at nearly 50" and some in the forecast for new year's eve.  I'm worried when we'll be able to get on the courses around here!

We just had a Nor"Easter here with 17".  I regret not playing a few weeks back when it was 40 F and sunny.  Now we'll just have to hybernate for the winter.  I will be playing on St Croix in February though!!!

I'm in hampton roads VA and on the 26th we got hit hard, like 15" of snow. There's still at least a foot in my backyard and it doesn't look like I'll be golfing in a while. I hate winter, I want it to be 85 degrees year round!

Right now there is about 1.5 feet on my deck.  I played a round on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  In the high 40's and sunny each day.  So I am lucky to get those rounds in, no more for a while.  Hopefully I will be able to get another round or two in before heading to Arizona at the end of January, but if not, oh well.  I will have three full days of golf when I get to AZ!  Then will be in Florida for a week just one week after getting home from Arizona.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
