Putting, putting, putting...and then some more putting. Chipping in the back yard, and trying to play on those occasional 45+ degree days here in Colorado, any colder then that and I stay inside.

I buy good weather by going down to FLA once a month for 3 or 4 days and do nothing but play or practice golf. Good deals to be had November and December, but January to March is a little more expensive. After all these years, I am really getting to know Florida well.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Due to the Perma-frost up here from now to the middle of April, there really isn't many places to play...out doors that is. We have a couple of in-door ranges here as well as some golf simulators.

I will go back to the gym to try and get more like Tiger, however finding a good golf related workout is tough. Any one know of any places online or books that offer a great workout program? I am looking for strength and flexibility.

I highly recommend a book titled Ultimate Flexibility by Sang H. Kim.I have incorporated most of his programs into my martial arts classes I teach.My students all notice how much better they feel after they have warmed up for class and the injuries,(torn muscles,etc.),have been greatly reduced.Book sells for around $20 or so.good luck

I plan on working on my putting during the winter. I don't like the cold that much so I'll work on my game indoors.

I just put on thin layers and still go play. Now lately it's been snow covered so there's not much I can do there except go to the heated range about 5 minutes from the house. But if it's relatively dry, I hit the links.

Hey swinging a driver under water might be a good work out if you could get past the hypothermia.

Not playing at all, no point my back is screwed and its too cold to play anyways. I will be hitting the gym and trying to get myself into the best shape i can for next year.

Although i would be carpet putting if i didnt have hard wood, would work out well if i was playing in a US open i guess.

Ahh, an Ohio winter yet again. Yay

Where are you going to play in Columbia, SC? It's been really nice here for the past week or so. It got up to 76 on Monday, 78 Tuesday and Wednesday and it should be in the upper 70's again today. Great weather for golf. Of course when the weather is like this I tear a muscle in my right shoulder and I can't play for at least two weeks.

    • Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward. 
    • Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point. 
    • When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.  
    • I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees.  Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.  People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep.  Some good tidbits of information though. 
    • Hey, many thanks in identifying those.
