Couldn't take it anymore. I've been practicing in the garage or going to a simulator all winter but finally hit some shots off the frozen turf with the new 5i. Felt good to see actual ball flight.

Some days I'm tempted to get in the car and keep driving south until I find an open golf course. The only good thing about winter is that I'm completing projects I wouldn't think about starting during golf season. Just put a new flooring down in the bedroom. Of course, every time I went out to the garage to use the mitre saw, I'd end up hitting 20 or 30 shots off the mat.

FINALLY got out to swing some this weekend! Had my first lesson of the season scheduled on Saturday and it was just warm enough that we we're actually able to hit some balls outdoors for half the lesson. Sunday was also warm enough to hit the range. Felt great hitting some balls and I was pleasantly surprised how well I was striking it given how long its been. Sadly, the cold weather is back so this weekend was just a tease. Oh well, spring will be here soon enough.

Yea I am getting that golfing itch right now. I'm finding myself more and more practicing in front of the mirror. The Ohio golfer is coming out of hibernation early. :-D

They have a launch monitor and video system at Kittyhawk. $25 for 30 min I think. Might have to check that out.

I am shocked that a Dayton Muni can afford that :-O;-)

We're getting another 12 - 18 inches of snow today and tomorrow.  There is no place to put it.

The last month and a half has been brutal!

From out of nowhere, we warmed up to 50-plus this weekend and I got out Sunday. It was good to get out and good to get some exercise, but whatever ability I had is flat gone. Back to square one it seems.

Never seems to fail the last few years - our tourneys are always the 2nd Saturday of the month and during the winter it is always the coldest day of the month - teeing off in sub 40 degree weather tomorrow morning. Playing in the mid 50s today will partially prepare me for tomorrow.

Another arctic blast is coming to Ohio. Maybe after this one re-freezes the big lake up the street, I will do what I've been wanting to... drive a golf ball on the frozen surface and hit it with my rangefinder to see how far it went. 400 yards?

very similar here as well, just got done building my Wife a pantry in the kitchen and built my children a window seat in their rooms.  I also at least twice a week hit wiffle ball golf balls with a PW in my bedroom...I can get a full swing and it's all about muscle memory for me at this time of the yr...been so cold here in Pa the last few days I couldn't think of doing anything like that outside lol

Regular snowfall and cold temperatures with no end in sight; It's like the movie Groundhog Day. :surrender:

Not as bad as Boston but pretty much the same result golf-wise. :no:

So depressing because my friends are doing a golf getaway to Myrtle Beach the Thur-Sun. after St. Patrick's Day and my work life won't allow me to go. :censored:

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
