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.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
