The peace that comes with the cold weather. Everything seems to slow down, and relax, at least for me. 

That, and big sweaters.

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 enjoy the lights, decorations, better spirits, music, college bowl games, my family, the gifts, and the food.  By January 7th I am ready for Spring.

I buy stuff this time of year too. This year I've been smart and avoided buying a bunch of clubs.

Holy cow! You just pushed one of my buttons! I swear I could eat roast turkey, dressing, and gravy every day!

However, I spotted this thread on March 3, so I will say this. It's March, the "cruelest" month in some folks estimation since it's the transition from Winter to Spring. But MLB teams are in Spring training, and the Sun is higher in the sky than it's been for quite a while. Enough so that you can actually feel the heat in the sunlight now!

At this time of year, on a sunny day I like nothing better than going outside, closing my eyes, and turning my face towards the Sun feeling the warmth on my face.

Yup, we just crossed over 12 hours of daylight here in Michigan. A few weeks until the official handicap season opens. A lot of anticipation.

One of the things I love about the Masters is how green and beautiful the course is. Here in MA, everything still is brown and dormant.

Well, it's now June 2, and I just got my garden planted! Can't wait for those home grown tomatoes! I will not buy a tomato in a grocery store any more. They taste like crap! So, tomatoes become a seasonal delicacy for me. That's OK. I'd rather eat good!

My favorite thing about June is obviously watching my hockey team play hockey. :-)

I like being able to hang around inside with a window open or the AC on just very slightly, with sunlight pouring in the windows.

Plus, it's almost tomato and corn season!

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Swing check. Cons: The countertop drill hasn't taken yet. Not crazy about A5 to A6 hand path. Pros: Decent BS width at A2 and right elbow at A4. All in all, not terrible but meh..

      Day 74 (14 Jul 25) - Late afternoon session w/9i, magnetic alignment stick, Divot board and hard foam balls.  Worked on getting the face square at setup and then returning to same through the swing.  The lines on the Divot Board served as referenced parallels for the alignment stick.  Did hit a few balls about 30 total - half with using the alighment stick on the club face and half without.  First time working with the magnetic alignment rod - really reveals when you have the face closed/open/etc.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, that is what I figure would be the case.  My mind is just trying to wrap around the idea that 22" left = feet aiming like 15 yards left visually. It's like in a CADD system, if the flag is the base point when you scale an image, it stays in the same spot as you get closer (scale up) or get further away (scale down).  I can image how if you have a 10-yard chip, it could look much more like your feet are aimed nearly 22" left of the flag.  Now I want to try to make some measurements and quantify this 🤣.  Yes, they do. Yea, that is true.

      Closer to like 22" than 36. Why wouldn't the target line (ball) be at the target (flag) with your feet parallel left of that? Perception messes with a lot of people. Almost all righties tend to aim to the right, because what feels parallel left — particularly given that your eyes are "between" the ball and your feet — feel like they're pointed MILES left even when they're square. Also, there's no rule that you have to be parallel left of the target line. I like to be slightly open at setup.

      Pitching

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree.
