Yeah, I can play in January...if I want to plunk down $100 & struggle to find a tee time amongst the tourists on a weekend...cuz I'm not playing after work during the week with it getting dark at 530p. So instead, from Nov thru March I just hit the range. A bucket of balls is $9 in August or February. Chipping & putting is free. And during the summer, that same $100 greens fee drops to like $20. So yeah - I play Grand Cypress...in July. Don't get anywhere near it in the winter.

Having moved here from northeast Ohio, I can tell you that it's just nice to know that i "could" play golf year-round if I wanted to. But it doesn't mean that I do. It's too expensive & too crowded.

We let the Canadians have the courses in the winter.

Doesn't that just drive you crazy? I live in Ocala, so we have more snowbirds than tourists and that's somehow worse. These guys are all retired, yet they feel the need to play on Saturday & Sunday morning. Every day is a weekend for you guys! Why do you have to grab the prime weekend tee times? I still play though because there is a great Muni 3 mins from the house. I just gotta get the earlies tee time possible so I'm not playing a 5hr round.

my get up and go musta got up and went..

I live in Maryland and, Mother Nature willing, I usually play throughout the winter barring heavy snow. As long as it is at least 40° I am fine with throwing on my thermal mock and winter hat and heading out for a good walk!

It's actually pretty nice then, too, as most courses are just about empty and you can really fly through.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
