What's your favorite thing about this time of year?

Even though I'm starting this thread during the holidays, it can apply to whatever time of year in which someone posts to it. In early April, I might post "The Masters!"

But for now…

Peppermint ice cream.

Lengthening days.  They're finally long enough I can leave work @ 4:45 and walk 4-5 holes.  But the big one:  come Sunday morning -- start of Daylight Savings!!  Then, at least 12-13 holes after work,

I will name two favorite things about this time of year. 

1) The weather has cooled off down here, and that means I can play more golf. 

2) The Jaguars' season is coming to an end, so my annual suffering is almost over.

My two brothers that live away usually come back to town for Christmas. One is in Massachusetts and the other is in Chicago, so we don't seem much of them through the year.

Yup! The cool movies come out.  Can't wait to see Rogue One 

For me around the late year holiday season it is that we are finished at work with budget season. Lots of execs take time off so office is not as hectic. I always take the week between Christmas and New Years off and spend it with my kids, so good bonding time.

The food: I love to cook for Christmas and of course make my favorite soup in the world (Posole/Pozole) and all the fun stuff like carne adovada and cheese enchiladas with a pot of slow cooked pinto beans around New Years.

People in general are nicer  

Golf wise here in Florida the fairways dry out so that when I duff it my ball usually still goes forward a bit.

My company normally closes the last week of the year. So I'm looking forward to a few days off from the grind.

Around this time in NY....  It has a certain "je ne sais quoi" that makes the city more electric and alive than any other time of the year.

I love visiting NY anywhere from late November to New Year's day.  Something in the air around this time of the year makes the city more alive than usual.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By wacker · Posted

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
