Sweet did you call any north of 104th?

Sorry, I called around Denver/Golden/Lakewood area courses.  And they a ll said they will open in the morning by 9 AM (typical winter schedule).

But I would imagine courses north of 104th like Riverdale Dunes and Pelican Lake will be open as well.

Yeah almost on cue I got emails from a few courses saying we are open tomorrow. I work until 2PM so will hit something near Brighton. Probably Coyote Creek or maybe drive down to Hyland Hills blue. Definitely not the home course, they are path only on squishy days. Really slows things down for those that can't keep the ball towards the middle.

-27°C the other day. Add the wind and you get to around -35 or so.

"Let's move to Northern Michigan" she says. "I know you'll love it up there. The snow, the winter sports... you'll have a blast". No mention of the "polar vortex". What about the g#^ %&* polar vortex?!!

This weather has me super depressed. I get days off during the week..I go to the gym, come home and sit and watch the golf channel. Watching them play in Cali adds to my depression. In central Ohio, I played about 2 weeks ago it was almost 50. Looks like it will AT LEAST be another 2 weeks before I even think about playing outside again. I have an indoor range close to my house, but that doesn't suffice. Getting closer and closer to moving to Florida.

Looks like this afternoon is the only time this week it's going to be warm enough to play...And I have to work this afternoon.

(Crap!!!) :censored:

I wish Canada would keep their vortexes to themselves.

Fingers crossed for a March start of the season. Best decision I made was taking off the Friday before Mlk day. Was able to play 18 in decent weather. GO AWAY SNOW!

Lucky you. The earliest I can play is the beginning of April, and only if I'm lucky.

58 yesterday currently 18 and the forecast doesn't look good for golf this week. I probably wouldn't anyway. As warm as it was yesterday, I actually wore shorts, the wind was enough to discourage golf. I was out Sat and the wind blew my card away and it just wasn't fun. They put us out on the back and 5 holes play into the wind with a combined yardage of 1900 yards and that's with a par 3 in the there. The last 4 wiggle around so crosswinds were a problem. It has to be a perfect day to get me out there before spring going forward.

We're not going to see temps in the 30s again until Friday here in CT. Spring and/or global warming can't get here soon enough.

I agree. The way the winter was playing out I thought we were in the clear for all season golf. Wow was winter here in full force now.

Wind chill below zero this morning. :pound: Can't get in any solid work at the range when I can't feel my hands. All I have is practicing positions in a mirror at home.

    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.   
    • Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings. 
    • Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here. 
    • Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.
