I hit up the local golf dome.  Its a huge upgrade from the heated outdoor driving range that I used to practice at during the winter when I lived in Madison, WI.

Nothing, I take a break.  After 30 years of golfing my swing is what it is, so I take a few months off, regenerate my batteries and wait for the golf in Hawaii in January on TV to get me excited about the new year.

You guys have winter, it's just relative as in, when it drops below 60, you Floridians put on the down jackets and hats.

Up here in Jersey, I keep playing as long as it gets above 45 or so..

Yup.  People in Florida think 60* is, "cold" and break out the jackets, beanies and crank up the heater on the golf cart when it gets below that temp.  Its been in the 30s here in Ohio all week and I still havent broken out my jacket yet.

If its below 40, I try to hit the heated range.  If its above 40, I dress warm.

Play golf.

Although, we do need to remember to bring the Phillips screwdriver along.  It's pretty handy to poke a hole in the ground to put the tee in.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
