Don’t be a fair weather golfer 😜

Lol. This summer and no previous summers have kept me indoors. Yet.

You realize by reviving this thread before the snow flies is a curse.   Let's hope that NY doesn't receive snow before other states!   As for the Mitten state, keep that white stuff away from here for a significant time!

I wonder if we’re eventually going to have a corresponding Summer is too damn hot depression thread. It’s still hot and we’re almost into September. 

This has been the warmest, muggiest summer I can recall. Our dew point here in RI has been in the low 70s most of the summer. That is humid.

Well it’s almost that time. First frost delay of the year - it was 34°F when I arrived at the course. 

It was 50°F when I teed off last week.

I cleaned up the clubs and put them in the corner of the garage this morning. I’m heading to Florida next week and will play with @missitnoonan, but he has a spare set of Mizunos that I can borrow. After Florida, it’s time to hibernate until next May.

My hope every year is that I can play over the Thanksgiving weekend. Most years we make it.  Any golf after that time is a gift.

I actually signed up for an indoor league for the winter. Only $17 a week, with a free week with prepay in advance. If nothing else, it'll keep me swinging the clubs.

Interesting weather we’ve been having lately. It was 30°F when I arrived at the course yesterday morning. We had an 80 minute frost delay. By the turn I went to the bathroom to take off my base layer. It was 65°F at the end of the round.

So it seems the home course has installed a simulator. Might be worth a try or two in snow season. 

This thing is called a ForeSight Golf Sports Simulator. Anyone try one of these?

I used that very one to play in a winter 2-man league one year. Not sure if its the best one out there. But I know I've never seen any better ones.

Hi all, I'm a new guy here from Western NY, so I'm transitioning from summer to winter sports now.  I don't get depressed for winter as I have many other outdoor hobbies so I won't really miss golf. However a nearby driving range just built a really nice 8 bay Toptracer facility. It's fully enclosed with large doors on each bay that open to hit balls into the range. Also has overhead heaters, a bar and snack shop. I'm really looking forward to giving this a try and maybe hit balls once or twice a month instead of taking my usual golf hiatus from November till April.  Maybe it won't feel like I have to learn golf over again in the spring 🙂

Welcome to TST @BlackDiamondPar5, we're glad you've joined.   The new facility sounds great, especially with a few friends!   Don't forget to give us an update on your visits.

    • I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉 
    • Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.    
    • I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
