Walk (ski/snowshoe) your favorite course in the snow and start figuring out where your new, longer drives will be landing. Then begin imagining which shorter clubs you'll be hitting into the green.

Nice thought, but they got the course locked tight until March.

Kind of had a bit of that this fall when stuff finally started clicking into place. Remember being giddy hitting an 8I on our long par-4 9th hole.

Going to use some stimulus for the range membership next year, so I'll be imagining some really crazy drives until then when the inevitable reality reintroduces itself.

My wife and I walk local courses in the off season.  We gave up doing that, however, if there is more than an inch or two of snow on the ground.  Walking in snow can be tough.

Where are you finding snow?

We're getting a little bit in Troy, OH right now. Not sticking yet, but that should turn over in an hour or two. Nothing massive but not golf weather and not really great walking weather either. Felt ok in the garage. Got out there and that breeze at the top of the hill was all it took to make it a 45 minute walk instead of an hour-and-a-half.

If I drive 51 miles east I will find 10 to 12 feet of snow.

Touche'.     I should have been specific.   We have a mix of green grass and enough snow to hide some.

A few years ago I timed it just right and I went skiing in the morning and played golf in the afternoon.

Baseball games today for my youngest. I had to wear a light jacket.

😜I foresee 27 shanks in your next three rounds.

Come on Mother, give me one unseasonably warm day. Gawd.

Everywhere in the Ann Arbor area has about an inch covering gassy surfaces.

Golf in Orlando today for me.

I wanted to play over the weekend but my hands just can't take the cold. C'mon spring! Or just a 45+ degree day.

I played on Sunday when it was 28 *F.  It was nice as most people stayed home. 

But now, it is snowing.  Ugh.  I am hoping it melts before my Saturday's tee time.

You'd better buy some leggings for the girl on the motorcycle...

There comes a point in each winter where I get a bit crazy. Not sure I'm 28-degrees crazy yet, but 38 with light rain suddenly sounds like a possibility.
