For our golfing brethren up north, we stand with you against the cold and await the return of good weather:

Went out and played yesterday. Started at 37° and ended at 42°. It was great. The next group didn't tee off until we had played holes.

My friend, John, and I only played 9 holes because of John's hip, but 9 holes and then lunch is paradise to me.

Oh, yes, we really didn't keep score, because we decided to hit a few mulligans, but I did have a birdie and several pars without a mulligan.

I love this game!

It is going to be a little nippy in Philly this weekend, but sunny. If the wind isn't up, I may play Sunday since the Eagles/Cowboys is a night game.

My band is playing a Christmas part at a really nice country club in town tomorrow night, but no golf.

This has to be the most depressing thing I've ever read in this thread.

Well, actually, now that I think about it, at least you're playing music again :-) .

This is our last gig of the year. Kinda depressing. I would take my clubs and see if they would let me get 9 in before dinner, but my SUV is packed to the top with drums and PA.

What, no passenger seat?

My 44 degree day has been downgraded to 40 degrees tops. I did get enough done this week to go, but any wind will make it unpleasant. Going to be a game time decision.


Have you ever been to Chippers indoor golf facility in Eaton, OH? I'm gonna have to check this place out.

It's a bit off the beaten path for me, but when it really gets cold it might be the only alternative. My nearby range touted heated tees, but they were a bit of a disappointment. Just looking at the stuff online, my only real concern about the place would be a possible hard sale on lessons. Still surely worth a visit.

While you guys inear Los Angeles are mopping up the water this weekend, Chicago is  going above 50F with overcast skies,  No snow on the ground, but the ponds are still frozen, Just warm enough to go play.

Oh, I'd definitely play in that weather.  I'm taking my clubs home with me to NYC during the week of Christmas and New Years to play some golf.  As long as it's not windy, I'll play in 25* weather.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
