Winter Depression Thread

Recommended Posts

I watched Paul and Art play at a small bar in St Lou back in the late 70's …
With less than 75 people packed in a very small area, they preformed for a couple of hours.
Yes I'm older than Dirt and thank the good man above I'm still around to talk about it … :whistle:

It would be rather depressing if I wasn't ...

In the late 70s they were still a huge act. To see them in a small venue is a very special treat. Love their music and harmonies. When I was learning guitar, theirs were some songs I had to learn.

Ask your brother if he's ever been to the Gold Pan

Been there many a times. How about Shamus O'tooles 
He was a good golfer and fun to be with...

Yesterday there was 1-1/2 hour frost delay at Green Valley Ranch GC near Denver International Airport.

Ugh!  It's that time of the year where you have to call in the morning to see if there is any frost delay.

Some courses in my area have their own apps. They will send out a push notification alerting you to a frost delay, and when they expect to open.

North wind at 25 with gusts to 45 mph. Cold front supposed to be through my area by 5 p.m., CST. Currently 57*.

Actually, if it wasn't for the wind, I would be playing.

So, watching "Charlie's Angels" and planning on tomorrow or Wednesday.

Same thing can happen in the Spring. Many years ago, my buddy made an early morning tee time in early Spring. The weather had been glorious, and was supposed to get close to 70 that day. But the overnight was crystal clear with a heavy frost. We sat around at the course waiting for the place to open for play. My buddy's next door neighbor was in our group, and he told him, "You know John, they allow you to play golf at noon as well!"

    • I agree with @pganapathy about removing some clubs. I would recommend removing the 2, 3, 4 and 5 irons for now. Play with Driver 3W 5W 3H 5H 6 iron 7 iron 8 iron 9 iron PW ( you don’t have listed) 52 56 Putter Th 60 wedge can be difficult for new players, but you could keep that If your 3H is adjustable, increased the loft to be more like a 4H. Play with these on course and see if you can get a feel of the actual yardages for each club and especially the gaps between them. It may take 10 or more rounds. A par 3 course is helpful for determining the gaps in the irons and some woods too. A device like a Shot Scope H4 can really help give you your actual yardage on course.

    • Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice. 
    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
