Well the rainy season has started here in the Pacific Northwest and the skies will be grey now until sometime in July.

I keep telling myself to pack up and try Snowbirding (The wife is all for it) but don't really know where to go.

Can those of you that head south for the winter tell me where you go and how the golf is there? I have a 30 foot 5th wheel that will hopefully get to go somewhere next year if I plan a bit.

Took up golf late in life with a lot to catch up.

At first, I thought this was about going to Snowbird in Utah.

Since you're in WA, it seems like So. CA and AZ might be good destinations?

St George, Utah or Mesquite, NV is a great place to get away.

It's one of the most scenic places on earth, great weather, great golf and less crowded.

I would imagine they have RV parks in the area to stay.

It's also a short drive to Vegas for an day/evening if one so cares to indulge.

Plenty of family things to do close by, National Parks, The Grand Canyon are just a few to visit.

Yes both are great but they are big places. I was hoping to narrow the election down a bit.

Thank you though.

It might be just a tad cold in Vegas. Definitely no crowds at this time of year. That said, I might be up for a round if schedule permits.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
