Ugh. I thought my range close by had opened up, so I went by at lunch yesterday. Nope, not open, despite their phone message saying the range was open. I haven't hit a ball since December 23rd, and I was really looking forward to it. I also wanted to film to see how my priority piece looked at higher speeds. Really frustrating, because we're supposed to have another round of snow starting today. Ugh.

When I lived in Colorado I quit golf for the Winter and skied instead, working on my priority piece: the downhill fall.  You gotta sub one sport for the other.  And skiing keeps you in fairly good shape.

Miami Shores is starting to shed the ice blanket. 

You never know. Might be playable in a week or not for another month.

When do people start stacking up on golf gear? Still pretty cold and wet here so don't see many getting the latest stuff yet... early March?

I practice (and teach) year-round, so… whenever. 😄

Congrats Phan. You went out after all... good for you!

Got 18 in on Saturday for the first time in 2022. It was almost 60 outside of Philly and I was surprised at how the course was playable. Soft, but playable. It was wonderful and I actually played pretty well. Still can't hit it out of my shadow but my short game and putting was in midseason form. Go figure.

Maybe another go tomorrow if the new snow cover from Sunday is gone.

Played my first round of 2022 today. It was 32F with 15-20 mph winds when we teed off. This would have been how @Vinsk would have dressed.

Meanwhile in NJ, it’s going to be 90° this weekend when I play. It’s 50° today. Weather is weird.

It’ll probably melt tomorrow, but still sucks.

Some munchkin on the right side of the photograph doesn't hate it.

I ski bummed in Breck for two winters. Never saw the ground. I know there's a golf course there  somewhere but never saw that either.

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

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

      By WillieT · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      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.
