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.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
