Winter Depression Thread

Congrats Phan. You went out after all... good for you!

Ugh. I thought my range close by had opened up, so I went by at lunch yesterday. Nope, not open, despite their phone message saying the range was open. I haven't hit a ball since December 23rd, and I was really looking forward to it. I also wanted to film to see how my priority piece looked at higher speeds. Really frustrating, because we're supposed to have another round of snow starting today. Ugh.

When I lived in Colorado I quit golf for the Winter and skied instead, working on my priority piece: the downhill fall.  You gotta sub one sport for the other.  And skiing keeps you in fairly good shape.

When do people start stacking up on golf gear? Still pretty cold and wet here so don't see many getting the latest stuff yet... early March?

Miami Shores is starting to shed the ice blanket. 

You never know. Might be playable in a week or not for another month.

I practice (and teach) year-round, so… whenever. 😄

You're in NC?

Got 18 in on Saturday for the first time in 2022. It was almost 60 outside of Philly and I was surprised at how the course was playable. Soft, but playable. It was wonderful and I actually played pretty well. Still can't hit it out of my shadow but my short game and putting was in midseason form. Go figure.

Maybe another go tomorrow if the new snow cover from Sunday is gone.

Played my first round of 2022 today. It was 32F with 15-20 mph winds when we teed off. This would have been how @Vinsk would have dressed.

Fun.  I remember my 7 years in Colorado.  Time to do some sledding down Capitol Hill.

Keep that stuff away from Michigan!  We're wet enough in my area.

Meanwhile in NJ, it’s going to be 90° this weekend when I play. It’s 50° today. Weather is weird.

Hate it when the weather man is right. 

It’ll probably melt tomorrow, but still sucks.

Makes up for the lack of snow in the beginning of winter?

My brother sent me pics of the snow in Breck.   Glad it's not in Michigan~!

Some munchkin on the right side of the photograph doesn't hate it.

I ski bummed in Breck for two winters. Never saw the ground. I know there's a golf course there  somewhere but never saw that either.

I wonder if we’re eventually going to have a corresponding Summer is too damn hot depression thread. It’s still hot and we’re almost into September.
