I know I know there are a few forums based off of the winter season but I am writing how miserable it is here on Long Island, NY. I can't stand seeing snow anymore and am going stir crazy looking at my clubs. On top of going nuts looking at my clubs being on here and going to golf websites and golf stores I am re considering my entire set and am trying to fight myself from buying more golf clubs equipment etc that I don't need. Currently re-evaluating my wedges. Why don't know I like the x-forged but really like the Vokey I got not too long ago and am on the fence about changing my wedge set up to all Vokeys. Just bought a 52 deg. Anyone else having the same issues as far as not being able to play due to weather and re-examining your clubs, buying more clubs?

We've had way more snow than normal in middle TN....and I'm sick of it.  Supposed to bump 50* this weekend, but if the snow doesn't all melt soon enough the course will still be closed.

Winter sucks.

I'm lucky enough to have been in Palm Springs for the past month after taking a hiatus for a semester from school to visit ASU and get my game on. Going back to Wisconsin this week, supposed to leave Wednesday and fly into Chicago but I doubt it with the blizzard they are predicting.

I hate winter so much, I use the time to hit a billion putts on carpet, just to keep a good rhythm. I also find myself constantly doing swings without a club to see if my flexibility is perishing. Us golfers in the north/midwest/etc. really got it rough in the winters. And this week looks like old man winter is going to throw it in our faces again, I'll be leaving 70+ degree weather for feet of snow and sub zero windchills, golfers depression should kick in about Sunday if I get home Thursday. : (

Just back from Phoenix, AZ. for a family emergency. My great uncle and I had to get out of the hospital environment for awhile so he took me to an executive par 3 and par 4 course. I played with some crappy graphite shafted irons in senior flex. I looked like a real hacker out there (even more than usual), but it was glorious wearing shorts and a short sleeve shirt!

Here I am back in the midwest awaiting the arrival of the storm of the century.

Winter definitely sucks!

Are your ranges snow covered? The local one ran out of balls and since they cannot get them with snow on there they are closed until it melts. Its a good thing Ive managed to put together a couple buckets of beat up balls living next to a course.

The way I see it, you whiners have 2 options to get over winter.

1.  Move

2.  Embrace winter and pick up a winter hobby

I used to have that problem, then I picked up hockey as my winter hobby, so I dont really have time to sit around and ponder what clubs are in my bag.

Golf season ends just as hockey season begins and when hockey season ends, golf season is in full swing.

lol actually...since you mentioned it...there's two ranges up my way that have heated booths...one of them (the nicer one) ran out of balls about 3 weeks ago. the other one, has had balls (allbeit crappy ones) to fill the jumbo buckets. today i called the better range and found out they now have enough to fill jumbo buckets for at least another 2 weeks...so unless we have some ridiculous snow, we should be good to go till spring. i'm headin down to SC next thursday night till march 2nd so, i won't be too worried

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
