Wait a minute. WHAT?! You move back to Ohio for the Winter? I think you got it backwards! A lot of people I know are heading south right now.

Had the poor judgement to agree to play Beavercreek Golf Club yesterday. Low 50s, soggy and a vicious wind. Indian summer looks like its over.

On 18, I thought I had a chance after one of my better drives left me 140 yards. For the first half of the ball flight my 7I looked great. Then a massive gust of wind blew and the ball just plummeted out of the sky like it got hit by an anti-aircraft missile.  

That place is so damn hilly that I fell twice on the rain-soaked grass.

Initially I had a high sense of antipathy for you but now I feel sorry for you losing your job. I hope you get a better job in Ohio, and freeze your ass off there like the rest of us. :-D

We are still getting the remenants of hurricane Brian....Why call a hurricane Brian ffs? Not the most fear inducing name. We've had strong winds, torrential rain. I mean, some people even had roof tiles blown off! The hurricanes we get are probably just like a gusty day to you Americans, but on a serious note the coastal areas got a real battering. Luckily Ireland saved us from most of it.

Still windy now so cant even go to the range

I hope I find a job too. The weather in FL right now is perfect for golf, but with no money coming in... :cry:

I figured you'd be the first to revive this thread.   Our local news is saying there is a chance of snow within the next week, even if it doesn't stick.   The UP is suppose to get 3-5" of snow!

My wife is from Michigan and her whole family still lives there. She used to bug me to move there but this^^^^^ is why I never agree. We play, often in shorts, all winter long. 300+ days of beautiful blue skies and sunshine has its perks. She doesn't bug to move there anymore, she's gotten used to the weather here, she went back last winter and nearly froze to death!

I love going there in the summer though, Michigan has some great golf courses.

This is what Michigan misses.   We are the perpetual cloudiness state.   The Great Lakes affect our weather more than most people understand.

We woke up to 28º and a heavy frost this morning.    Summer is over!    Hopefully our 12:06 tee time will be warmer.

I'm hoping to get out Sunday morning. Supposed to be a high of 46. Going to be chilly, but love the fall rates and the fact that I can get 18 holes with a cart for $30 on a course that is $65 in the summer!

I figured my last round on the weekend would be the last, but was hoping for a miracle. Sadly, it started snowing today in Winnipeg, so Im done. Will do work inside the house on position and feels, will hit up one of the outdoor ranges with heated stalls every few weeks. (I kinda hate hitting there, as the glare off the snow is blinding and you dont see your shots a lot of time)

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
