I've been playing golf 20 years in frigid Midwest cold and managed a new career personal best for 'most January rounds played!" Keep in mind, I AM NOT retired so golf is limited to weekend play because of the short days.  My previous record was 8 1/2 rounds set way back in January of 1993!!  .............and I crushed it in 2012....... 12 rounds +5 holes !!!

PS...I confess, I did skip out of work at noon today(TUE) and played 18.  Today is January 31st and it was sunny & 60.....I had to do it!!   I already had the new record locked, but I wanted to EXTEND IT!   LOL

Yeaaaa!!!!  I love it...

Congrats!! Part of the reason you broke your record is due to the unseasonably warm weather we've had. 60's in January?? Yeah, I've only made it out once...so definitely jealous.

believe U me........I played several "COLD WEATHER" golf rounds to set my new record. Yes.....snow has avoided my area, but playing 12 rounds in January=playing some golf in very frigid cold conditions.

It wasn't all warm and fuzzy.. it's been freekin' cold too....cold enough to shatter golf balls on impact.  I've teed off when wind chills were in the teens/20s...

The record is still lucky because we have had no snow.  If it snows, there is no golf........If it's just cold, I can adapt.....LOL

PS...playing to rock-hard frozen greens is no fun..................

I love global warming (I'm sure skiers would disagree) !!     I've got 2 rounds in so far in January & a bunch of outdoor practice field (range) sessions - amazing.

Congrats! I also set a record this year, I got out for 7 complete rounds and 2 nine hole rounds. About the same weather as you but it was probably a little colder by you, I tee'd off when it was 24 degrees a few times. Just as long as you dress warm and have some hand warmers you are good to go! Although, I don't think I've ever golfed in January before this year, as last year was my first year of being dedicated to my golf game. And this year I've set the bar even higher which will require more golf :)

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
