41F and windy (10-15 today).  Not as bad as I expected.  It was sunny though.  Tomorrow is colder, but I may not have a chance.  The only hard part was when teeing off into the sun. I lost sight of two drives.  I was lucky to find them.

2years ago I suggested to my brother-in-law and a buddy we should play golf. It was cloudy, windy and 21 degrees. In southern middle Tennessee,that is quite cold. On hole #4,it began to sleet and snow. We took cover under trees for 15 minutes and it passed. We continued on for the full 18 holes. We had a blast. Wehad so many clothes on we could at best muster a 3/4 swing. This, coupled with the temps, created a lot of quite long 2nd and 3rd shots. It was that day that I discovered just how essential cinnamon Jim Beam is for cold weather golf. :-)

I once played in about 35 degrees, cloudy and windy. It's called learning the hard way. That was when I instituted the 40 degree rule.


I like that rule.

I remember around I played in Denver years ago. Anyone who's spent any time in the Mile High City knows how fickle it's weather can be. When we started the round it was in the 60's and sunny. On the 18th hole it was in the 30s with white out conditions. The 18th green was now a white one. The funniest part was when we went into the pro shop the pro told us if we wanted to keep playing it was on the house. We declined.

I played 9 holes yesterday in 42 degree weather.  It wasn't too windy so it made it pretty comfortable.  No ball caps for me when the weather is like that.  I hate having cold ears so the knit hat was a must.  I have a pair of FJ winter gloves but only used the regular glove and kept the other in my pocket when riding around.  It was 38 today and I was going to go out but backed off because the winds were a little too brisk for my taste.

Man, that brought back a memory. Was playing Kennedy in SE Denver in the winter as a beginner, nice (35 ish) and sunny out. Left my nine iron by the 8th green (I think, didn't notice it lost til the back nine), figured I'd ask at the pro shop or go back for it later. Started snowing on 15, 1/2 inch of snow by the time we finished. Pro shop was closed up when we finished. Several inches more snow that night.

Good bye nine iron :cry:

PS it was a Danny Michaels signature club. Never have met anyone who knew who Danny Michaels was.

Anyone else ever lose a club in the snow? :-)

    • 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.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • 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.
