I'm ready for a little break myself as well. I feel like I've hit a lot of balls this year between lessons, range time, and playing and, honestly, I'm a little burnt-out. I still have a couple of more rounds left in me before the clubs find there way to the closet but I can't see me hitting the practice range the way I was earlier in the season. I like playing in the fall, though, since when I do get out the local course is usually pretty empty. Time to start putting those yellow balls in play again!

We've had lows in the 30's this week. It was 39 when I left for work today. Getting to be too cold to wear shorts some days. Supposed to be 80's next week though. Too bad I can't get out for some golf. Maybe tomorrow.

We had sleet and hail in Michigan this afternoon.    Not a good weekend for golf.    High today is about 48º with heavy winds.   Chill factor around 37º.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Y'all need to MOVE!

I can't wait for November.....hopefully we'll get a little cooler weather by then.

Over the last year, my wife and I have genuinely been considering moving to Florida strictly for weather purposes. We found a nice place in Groveland (sp?) and wanted to pull the trigger so bad.

39 degrees at the course this morning with strong wind. Funny how much colder that feels when I was wearing shorts just yesterday. If it was December I would think it was a decent day to play.

Can do that in Colorado in one day... usually accompanied by rain, sleet, hail, then snow!

Actually, along the Front Range golf can be played year round. Just be prepared for QUICK weather changes. :-P

Wasn't public. It was The Lake Club (I think) in Poland.

Pretty nice yesterday here in Troy, OH. Looks like it will be warm and rainy most of this week.

The main thing for now is how well the courses deal with the falling leaves. Out of my last two rounds, one course had em pretty well dealt with. One didn't.

It's been over three weeks since I touched the clubs. Hopefully I'll get another round in for the white death start coating the ground.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
