Will focus on filming my swing indoors and waiting for March golf trip.

Bloody ceilings in the house are too low for that.

Best I can do is putt on the carpet in the garage or brave the elements and clobber snow balls to kingdom come. Might work better if I dug out my ice skates.

We're supposed to get 9-12" on Sunday. Oh well. I've got my net set up ready if it warms enough. I also bought a cheap mat for the gym at work it hit foam balls.

Sigh. Ducks are foraging on the driving range...

Cry me a river Mr. Southern California.  😉 You can use the rain anyway.

No snow in NYC, but nasty, rainy day. Temps set to plummet. Salt spreaders going wild. Time to break out the Musher's Secret for the dog.

Low ceilings? I don't know what you're talking about.

Opted to practice outside today instead of inside tomorrow. Availability of practice times indoors filling up quickly where I am. Wondering if that's the New Year resolution people, or more people knowing about the practice facility, or something that I just didn't notice last year.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Snow on the ground and more snow expected tonight and tomorrow.

Sigh!  No golf for a while.

I am out there playing unless it is -30 or worse.

The record low temperature in Bellingham is -2 f  or -19 c (per Wikipedia).  When was the last time you played in -29 weather and where was it?

Look to the left at my icon photo. That was -40 degrees. I was being facetious. 😁

This morning really sucked.  The entire car was frozen in a block of ice. Took 30 minutes extra just to get the thing on thawed and on the road. I also would have thought the city could have made better use of all that tax money I pay them and gotten the roads better sorted.

But, I'm feeling optimistic.

Generally, in this area, we'll get one or two mornings a year where the air temperature will be below zero. The odds of this happening again are pretty low. It's just going to get warmer from here.

Wow, really strong winds today. Despite the meager 14mph report, the balls are moving 20 degrees to 40 degrees left on my home range... 🤪😂🤪

Feels more like 40mph gusts...

Well.  I guess I will go snowboarding this weekend since the courses will likely to be closed due to snow.

More snow expected tomorrow.  Looks like January is a total bust for golf.  On the other hand, nice new power for snowboarding.

I upgraded my irons, added a 3 hybrid, and bought a new driver for Christmas.  Still haven't been able to play a round with them.  I don't know why I'm living in St. Louis 😞

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
