I love it. Nothing will ever seem cold again. The rest of the winter will be walk in the park.

The funny thing about winter  is that enough time has passed that I've deluded myself into thinking I'll play really well the next time I get a chance.

You hope...

Swung for the first time since early November. Went to a local golf dome for about 20 minutes  Felt good but just hesitant to declare it good without knowing the full ball flight. Can only see 100 yards of flight which is fine for some clubs but I  was still worried about a driver slice.

Plan to do this about every 3 weeks while still doing some slow mirror stuff at home.

Just say the word and I will add you. 

I can't unfortunately. I was in Michigan last week, Buffalo this weekend, will be in Hocking Hills over New Years, and Dallas in late January. 

I can't squeeze in any more travel lol

Funny enough this winter hasn't bothered me one bit so far because I've been so busy. Plus I hurt my neck just before Thanksgiving and it hasn't fully healed yet so I have no desire to swing a golf club.

All of our snow melted but it's still not golfing weather.   :~(

I saw a couple guys playing Wednesday at our city's executive course (Ann Arbor).  My wife and I were just taking a brisk walk around the course and we did not expect to have to dodge golf balls.  I am going to give it a go just after the New Year in order to be able to say I "played".  There is still snow/ice on a lot of the back nine but the "flat" seven is virtually clear of any frozen precipitation.

It was in the high 30's here yesterday. I completed the first 11 holes before the freezing fog showed up... then I walked off the course. 

It's going to be a rough winter. There is a weather phenomenon known as the Polar Vortex affecting all of us in the Northern Latitudes.. worth a Google.

That's it Gator & Spackler!!! I'm gonna buy a 2004 Buick LaSabre and drive it down to Florida, find out where and when you play golf, make sure I get ahead of you in traffic with my Michigan plates, and drive 15mph below the speed limit with my left turn signal on the entire way.

Oh wait... it's Florida. You guys are probably used to that.

You want to witness a cluster#%& of bad driving... wait until you get a little snow or ice on those Florida roads. It doesn't happen often - maybe once every ten years - but when it does it's best to stay home.

I lived in Chicago for ten years, and I hated when my Florida and Vegas friends posted stuff like this. :-P But  don't worry, golf is only a couple months away. Or you can drive on down for a round.

      2026 US Open

      By saevel25 · Posted

      The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all.
