Winter Depression Thread

Recommended Posts

I've been hitting balls at the golf dome, heated range, golf stores, and chipping/putting in my house. This, along with ho'ing clubs and golf anything on the puter and tv is getting me through. We've had a couple of warmer days now in SE WI with a bunch of rain today and it's making a little dent...

Cold weather is going to return next week, guys. Unfortunately, we'll have to hold on for another couple weeks I guess. I've been searching everywhere for any inquiry on how long this will really last, and so many people say different things. Some pessimistic weather forecasters always say it will be "well into March" that the cold will persist and some say the arctic air will remain until around March 3rd. Does anyone know how long it will probably last? This winter is draining me

I've never hated a winter more than this one.  Too much snow, temps too cold and no breaks at all.  I'm hoping my March the snow is gone and the course will start to dry up.  Home course officially opens mid March and off to Myrtle early April so I need some practice time.

Drove home through a few raining cloud bursts last night, glad it wasn't snow. Today the temps are back below freezing.

I'm in MA, and outside of my office building there is some outdoor seating/tables for people to eat at in the summer.. the seating portion is about knee height (2 feet ? 2 and a half?)...Before yesterday the benches were almost the identical height of the snow around them, and when I came in this morning the snow had sunk a good 5 or 6 inches. Not much but its something..

Christ who am I kidding this is miserable.

50F today in MA, so we should get some melting.

What is depressing is it has been nice for a week and I haven't been out due to the wind. No gusts today but I'm sure it will bring out the goons. I'll be heading out soon.

We are coming into what we loving call, "mud season". It is close to 50° out and windy. It is slushy slick and mucky out... Not exactly better....yet.

Same here. Last week I hit every poor shot I could into the muck and basically destroyed a brand new pair of True shoes. Doubt I'll ever get the mud stains out of the mesh. We hadn't had any snow for some time and it was still a swamp.

Nasty sticky stuff.  I'm not sure how long it will take for the tundra to melt.  We still have 8 - 12" on the ground here in MA.

Even after it melts, it will be a while before the ground firms up.

This fu$&@$&$ white stuff is pain in the a$$. It was beautiful yesterday but I had work to do. Today was/is suppose to be warmer than yesterday, so I was planning on getting out there to play. And I woke up to find fricking white crap all over. Not much just a dusting but enough to close the courses today. Rant over.

Got out yesterday. My course, Kittyhawk Eagle course, Dayton, OH, was actually pretty good. Muddy balls, but my pants stayed relatively clean. The greens were pretty messed up though. But boy does a month and a half do some damage. It was like Feb. 2013 all over again with the fats and thins. I'm not admitting to my score.

I'm just south of you in Mason and I didn't want no part of the moisture....or should I say slop.

    • You get a penalty stroke because your local committee didn't do their job, they didn't address the specific conditions using the tools available to them within the Rules.  The rulemakers contemplated just this situation, bunkers being so filled with Temporary Water that they're unplayable.  The only way to address it "fairly" is to allow free relief outside the bunker, and they do NOT want to allow that on an everyday basis.  So they write the rules as it is, and allow the Committee to override the normal rule in the rare instance where the bunker really is full.  That's what your "local league" does, they invoke Model Local Rule F-16, which treats flooded bunkers as both GUR and as General Area.  Relief from GUR in the General Area allows relief in the General Area (i.e. outside the re-defined bunker).  Its quite a logical way to approach a relatively rare situation. Separately, consider your concern about temporary Water in the fairway.  I've seen situations in relatively level fairways where the Nearest Point of Complete Relief  from Temporary Water is 30 or 40 yards away, further from the green, even in the rough.   
    • There you go, @yungbuck6. Your hips aren’t really shifted forward and your head tips back. The camera angle isn’t good so what looks like hip slide could actually just be extension towards the ball.
    • But there's more to weight shift than just where you finish. How your weight transfers throughout the swing matters too.  But you're saying you can see it better than a device that can measure it? Got it.  Yeah I'm good here, good luck to whoever tries to coach you.
