Well....it is if you live in the country midsection!   Two solid days of rain so far!  Uggh.........  I hope to be able to play on the 4th!   Two days.....a complete wash out.    Yes, it's been hot and dry and we desperately needed the rain, but it's not supposed to rain now! LOL

I always forget that you aren't in Ohio given your forum name. I haven't really done much besides go to the range yesterday, but I can just about guarantee if it was raining I'd be upset that I couldn't go golfing. I do have a round today at just after 2 though. Seems a bit strange because typically I'd have golfed all day yesterday, all day today, and at least one round tomorrow. Not sure why I haven't had the motivation to hit the course as much lately.

Been perfect for golf here in Erie, PA.

I haven't played, of course. Busy teaching and all that.

But many others have.

Nice weekend here in NJ as well. I played a round this morning which was all the golf I had planned for the weekend.

We had our rain Thursday and Friday, not steady but bands passing through, to a total of a little over one inch.  We finished league Tuesday night with a thunderstorm splitting and passing north and south of us, with just a sprinkle and no lightning here.

Not that big a deal to me as I only play on weekends for tournaments anyway. :-P

I played earlier in the week in So Cal.  Temperature was 565R, give or take.  Great day for golf.  I wish I had installed my Game Golf because I would like to take a look back at that round and analyze some decisions... :-/

What is 565R in Fahrenheit ?

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

105 degrees F, give or take.  Nice day for some golf, yet the course wasn't all that crowded. :shrug:  I got used to R when I lived in a colder climate, and the higher numbers made cold weather feel a bit warmer.  It's the same scale as Fahrenheit, but is adjusted so that absolute zero is at 0R instead of -459 and change F.   R = F + 459 and change.

How obscure! I thought for sure it was a typo. Glad I asked.

It was funny, I said how the weather was nice then when I went golfing yesterday I got rained on.... First time golfing in the rain and it must be said I sucked really bad. So, either I need to play in the rain more to get better at it or just don't play in the rain anymore.... Not sure which is the better idea yet.

Not that I had golf planned or anything, but I started my day off by getting called into work. I can't think of anything more American than having to working overtime on a day off. :-P

Happy 4th everyone!

We got poured on saturday afternoon, yesterday was a no go, and this morning we walked in a mist. 

Figures it would be bright and sunny this afternoon.

If you ever need rain where I live, just make it a holiday weekend. Never fails.

    • Day 85 - 2024-12-24 Practiced for 90 minutes (which probably means I hit about 60 golf balls). No launch monitor, but plenty of aids and feedback.
    • So got fitted in a 35" Odyssey Microhinge Double wide 'blade' yesterday at GG. Choice was between it, SQ to SQ, LAB DF3, Rose Axis and Mizuno Craft  (also a double wide). Apparently I'm pretty good a aiming right of the hole consistently regardless of putter type. But it all came down to distance control and the insert feel. We hit puts in the putting area for the fitting but then ended up on the aisle carpet to hit long 40ish feet putts. Which is where the Microhinge did the best for my stroke. The Mizuno was a close second. The DF3 and Axis weren't bad either but I just felt really confident over the Microhinge and slightly soft but firm contact resonated so well. FWIW, I wanted to like the lie-angle balanced putters more than I did and was prepared to spend a bit. I guess putting is the individualistic aspect of our game. Hopefully, I didn't leave anything on the table. Anyone who knows my putting knows I need all the help I can get.
    • The driver swing honestly feels good. Haven't played in a/the course for a bit but did pretty good at the sim place yesterday.  The idea has been to reduce twisting shaft instinctively at impact. For this have weakened left hand grip considerably. Pushed higher up in the hollow of the palm to take out index finger and thumb in pressure application which is a major are major contributors of shaft twisting at impact. On the flip side, right hand grip is way down in the lower part of the middle fingers. Not using index or thumb much at all. It also is designed to prevent getting underneath the shaft too much at impact. More of a float-loady  'paint the ball' feel through the ball. Overall address and neutral grip keeps both lead and trail sides on respective sides of the shaft instead of over or underneath the shaft. It seems it allows/promotes moving the shaft/club unit in unison with wrist/elbow/shoulder joints similar to an elephant swinging it's trunk. It does not feel like I am guiding the club path or trying to control club face at all. Fairly organic. Playing TPC Sawgrass in about a month. Will see how it all holds up. I hear its a good test.. heh.
    • Day 235 (24 Dec 24) - Rainy Christmas Eve day - worked on putting stroke by rolling a few on the carpet.  Lagging for distance was goal using a version of the ladder drill - started off by going up - 1st step about 3’ - and then stepping a bit higher with each successive roll.  Then stepping down the ladder with each roll resulting in a bit shorter roll.  A fun drill where pace is key.
