I was out shoveling snow at 8 am this morning.   I guess outdoor golf is officially finished until spring!

They said only 10% chance of snow today. Yeah right.

Woke up to snow and my plans to play around today went out the window. Ugh.

Right now I am doing okay despite the 9-10 inches of snow we just received.  I played on Wednesday (12/7) and the warm glow of getting a round in prior to the hammer falling is still with me.  By next weekend, I suspect I will be down in the basement fiddling with the clubs and wondering whether we will have an early Spring.

We're getting a bit of melt-off today, and I'll wait to snowblow for the first time until about 4pm. ;-) So long as we can avoid having too big of a "bump" at the end of the driveway, I'm okay with that.

Light dusting of snow last week, and looks like some more coming on Wednesday. 

It's all about the mats..

Forecast makes it looks like it will be a while before I get back out on an outdoor range or out playing. I can get through December okay usually, but I'll get antsy when it gets to January or February.

Ball-shriveling cold for the next two days does suck. Saturday's high is 47 but with rain in the forecast. It's going to take a monsoon to keep me inside.

Come on down to Orlando for 12/28. I can add a tee time or 2 to our little outing.

That's going to take a X-mas gift with a very, very high re-sell value to get that to happen.

Pretty looking course you guys are going to play.

It should be a lot of fun. Temps appear to be hanging around the 80 mark over the next few weeks. 

IMG_1209.JPGWife took this pic yesterday. Anyone that wants to come down and play on the 28th can let me know. I'm reserving tee times tomorrow.

Hibernal solstice is December 21, so in 9 days the length of daylight begins to increase!  Woo hoo!

    • Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.
    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
