I live in Vegas but my girlfriend’s place is in L.A. so I’m here all the time as well.  I’m having winter depression because the weather is currently so damn nice that all the courses are too crowded.  C’mon!  Rain a little so things thin out and I can try my new rain gloves.

I'd like to say we feel your pain, but you have to have pain for us to feel it!  :8)

Yawn. @CarlSpackler trolled us for a while when he lived in FL. You gotta come up with something more original :-P

I'm not so sure now after two days with single digits. 34 sound pretty damn good now.

On the other hand, the white death is strictly grass decor for the moment. I guess it could be worse.

I am sure after a few weeks of no golf I may change my mind. White death may not give me the option. It is truly golfers kryptonite

It’s not such a big deal. Even when the weather was beautiful, I didn’t have much of an urge to play anymore. I did start having golf dreams again though. I was playing against Mr. Woods and was winning, so he started cheating.

Starting to get into the winter depression here a little bit. It was beautiful here until the 20th, which was the day before I took some time off work of course. Since then, we've had enough snow on the ground so that most courses are closed, and I haven't swung a club in over two weeks. I'm holding out hope that I can get to the range tomorrow, but it's supposed to turn cold again after that. Unfortunately, it's been so cold that I don't want to go into my garage to work on my swing either. Might have to invest in a heater if the temperatures stay this cold.

Some courses are open today and will be tomorrow before the cold returns on Sunday.  I am hoping to play a round tomorrow morning.

No winter depression for the moment.  Warming up here.  Saturday/Sunday should be great days to play... albeit with drives that plug in the fairway.  I have a new driver being delivered today, and a bottle of Ardbeg single-malt scotch sent from Blackwell's in San Francisco... golf life is good.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      I assume you are posting 15 or 16 holes and letting the USGA algorithm insert projected scores for the missing holes. How is that going? Are the projected scores reasonable? I have yet to do this.

      The Stack System - A Conversation on Gaining Swing Speed

      By DeadMan ·

      You're right. I haven't really had an issue with this before, but it's definitely worth closing the legs a bit to see what happens. I've had 2 of these and never had this problem before. About 5 years of use between the 2. It's really odd. Yeah, I've always had a bit of inconsistency and misreads, but this is a new level. I did a baseline session last night, and all my of stack speeds had decreased by roughly 5-10 mph (with me throwing out the obvious garbage readings). Weirdly, the driver speed actually seemed to be right where I expected it. I guess maybe it's having trouble with the smaller head of the stack vs. a driver? Whatever it is, I think it's time for me to go with the stack radar.

      The Stack System - A Conversation on Gaining Swing Speed

      By MK4 ·

      @DeadManI used to use the Swing Speed radar and, in hindsight, it seems very unreliable.  As @iacassaid, it's prone to misplacement, and I'd sometimes get wildly different speeds from swing-to-swing: like a 103mph, followed by 118mph, then a 102mph, then a 114mph.  I didn't know any better at the time and thought that was normal.  I've since upgraded radars and the new speeds seem much more accurate/consistent. Also, Mike Carroll (FFG) used to have the SSR and he now calls it a 'random number generator'.

      I have it. Works good. As all things electronics, there are analog elements that can 'weaken' like the microwave signal emitting/receiving or the contact between it and conversion module, etc. Might be time for a new one.     P.S. I've had it for a few years. Other than replacing the battery haven't had any periods of wild reads.
