Hello from now cold WI

[Rock In Socks]

Hello everyone, The name: Once during a round took my shoes and socks off to try and hit out of water. (Look easy when I saw it on TV once, so I naturally had to try it). All I will say about the shot is that it did not end well. I was completely soaked and covered in mud and at the end of the round discovered I some how had a couple of small rocks in my socks. By the way I would still do it again (practice makes perfect). My golf game summary: horribly inconsistent. I say horribly because I can go out play 9 holes and shot low to mid 40's one day and turn around and shoot in the 60's the next. It is usually always a differnt part of my game each time that struggles. Hoping to get some practice in over the winter. The wife generally frowns upon me swinging my clubs in the house, but sometimes it just has to happen or I'll go crazy. Anyway, hoping the golf talk on this forum will help me keep my sanity until April. Mike

Welcome, I'm just south of you un Northern Il. I played 27 on Monday but I'm afraid that may do it for a while. We may get lucky but I'm not counting on it.

No problem national golf center in big bend has a heated outdoor range is open 9-8 every day I think. There is a simulator in Oconomowoc and another simulator in Genesee at a pool and spa place. Both require appointment.
