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!

Damn you winter. It is suppose to be ridiculously nice this weekend here on LI and sadly there will still be snow covering on the local course. So weak. Melt already you bastard snow.

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

      Low Spinners (Viktor Hovland, AoA)

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Played Sunday and implemented the Mayo spinner. Hit my second shot long and left on three to a bare lie. I have seen this shot to a tucked pin but I don’t swing across it enough and hit it too far with a ton of spin but it rolled into the bunker. I pulled my approach short and left on ten to a horrible lie with about 3’ of rise to a tucked pin maybe 5’ on the green. Ball is in a damp lie with debris behind and in front of the ball. Hit it to 3.5’ but horseshoed the putt around the right edge, which was a common miss. I hooked my tee shot into an unplayable lie in the hazard on the left side of the par 5 16th. Hit a great recovery that rolled to about 45 yards short of the back right pin. Hit the spinner over a bumpy green that rolled just over the ridge to 3’. Sank the straight 2.5’ putt. Felt like I had good control of these shots!
