I wouldn't say it's ban worthy but it is definitely :offtopic: This is a winter depression thread for crying out loud. :beer:

I don't know, maybe he's really into winter sports and is depressed that the unseasonably warm weather they've been having in Vancouver this year has forced him to go golfing, instead. I feel bad for the ****er ;-) [quote name="ay33660" url="/t/71391/winter-depression-thread/1470#post_1108516"] I do realize that I may have gone over the top. In fact I think golf Karma smack me on the head yesterday ........ I had three shanks in the round! [/quote]Ah, sweet justice :-P

Oh please, it was all tongue in cheek, continue to post away. Most of us only have about a month of this crazy weather to go, there's a light at the end of the tunnel...maybe

My tongue was firmly affixed to my cheek also in my replies.

Today it is sunny and 54 here.

Unfortunately no golf for me as my ass is stapled to my office chair.

Otherwise I'd be posting pictures of holes 5 and 10 today as they look great in the sunshine.

You are absolutely right Bill.

All three of our local ski hills (which are on the North Shore and within 15 minutes of downtown Vancouver) have absolutely zero snow and are closed for the season. Normally there would be skiing till the middle of April.

The only mountain open is Whistler about 2 hours north of Vancouver.

On the other hand its patio season at all the restaurants and the streets are filled with ladies are strutting around in their best Lululemon yoga pants (which originated from Vancouver BTW).

Do Vancouverans consider women wearing yoga pants, "sexy?"

Well that's a difficult one to answer and I hope not to get BANNED over this.

The former CEO of Lulu kinda got fired over what I am about to say ..........

Wearing yoga pants is a privilege and NOT a right.

But when worn by the appropriate lady yeah they are sexy.

Different strokes I guess but I don't think I've ever seen a woman in yoga pants and thought, "sexy."

Played Pensacola, FL last week (actually Destin, FL) - flew down for a long weekend.   Got 3 rounds in ... only one was good, wind made the other 2 days pretty rough ... at least it was golf and not snow shoveling.    I'll take bad golf above freezing in the wind over the alternative any way you slice it ...

Ok, did that.

Still stand by my statement of different strokes.

Maybe we should stop going :offtopic: lest we both find ourselves spending some time in the penalty box. :-\

Yep, it has been hovering above and below zero degree F*#% here for awhile now. Saturday it got up to just below freezing and it felt darn near Springlike. I did buy a basic hitting net on the way home from work yesterday. I think I'll buy some yoga pants and wear them under my regular pants like longjohns and hit some frozen golf balls outside this upcoming weekend. And don't worry, I won't post any pictures or video of me wearing yoga pants while using the treadmill.

It's gonna make it into the low 40s this weekend finally. Not golfing weather, but hopefully it continues to warm up. I'm glad because I have a gig Saturday and I hate dragging equipment through the cold.

If it went 40 tomorrow I don't think the ground would thaw out enough for at least a week.

Two weeks is probably to best we can hope for.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
