Living up north we have just a few months to enjoy the game.. But this past week has been a bit mild and there is one course that allows for 9 holes in winter. So myself and my pal went there to try and it was our first time trying to play in winter with snow on the ground. It was lot of fun but from a game point of view excruciating.. The distances was all over the place.. When we hit down on the ball, the ball actually gets pushed deeper into the ground and then leaps out similiar to wet ground.. In a nutshell, we left with more questions than when we started but had a fun time...

Yesterday on the Par 4 tenth at my local course I hit my second shot from 140 yards out to 2 feet.
Got my first birdie of 2010

A 2-oz. shot of Jamieson Irish, straight up. It made me feel better since it's too cold to play golf.

Hit 6 beautiful drives in a row on the simulator yesterday ... felt so good I bought the club!!
That's about the best I'll do for a while as it's doubtful we'll see the grass again here in Wisconsin 'til April!

Weird day. Was all over the shop but managed to hole 4 X 25 foot putts on the front nine which I never do. I had my putter shortened to 34" last week and it seems to have done the trick. Also smashed a 317 yard drive (GPS Confirmed) on the last, had been a frustrating day and really opened the shoulders. It went about 60 yards further than we normally hit on that hole. Hit a solid 9 into the green and two putted for Par, nice way to finish on the hardest hole on the course.

Had a good shot today. I hit a drive in the right rough and had 95 yards left to a front pin with wind pretty strong in my face. Turns out I was in hardpan and could not afford to hit it fat at all. Used my new 52 spin milled vokey and hit as pure a shot as I ever hit. I was using a Pro V1 as well. The shot went right up over the tree that was about 50 yards away, landed about 5 feet from the cup and sucked back off the green onto the fringe....

I normally dont put that much spin on the ball, so I was loving it, even though it spun right off the green!

Chipped back to the cup to about 2 inches and tapped in for par......

Great (and cold/windy) round today!

3 month beginning golfer and all ready scored an eagle!!! Crazy drive with a crazy 3wood shot... and I got about 2 feet from the hole on a par 5.

My best shot this week has been on the driving range. I am working on driving down and through the ball (hitting down). I practice this technique on the range and
building muscle memory helps to transfer this move to the course.

Well, its a combination of shots. From 1st hole my Tee shot was pretty bad so I practically gave up on the hole, but somehow my next 3 were awesome landing an 8 iron from 125 yards out 3 feet next to pin, 1 putt in for my first par 5. Rest of the course was lousy,too much full of confidence like I conquered the game

played 3 club tourny. took my 19 deg hybrid, 8 iron, putter. I had a nasty 20 yard chip over a bunker to green that ran hard away down to the cup. I laid open the 8 iron and flopped it to about 3 feet I was pretty impressed with myself.

Definitely on the driving range earlier this week. I took my new Callaway DT5 driver out for the first time and nailed it on the screws first swing. The guy in front of me asked for earplugs, haha!

Not the best shot of yesterdays round but probably the most satisfying. Found the front of the 6th green (short par 3) with an 8 iron and was faced with a long, uphill putt on a soft green. Lagged it up to within tap in range when, I have to admit, I thought I was set to record a 3 putt bogey.

for a really crappy round i actually had some really memorable shots...
best one hands down was my 3h shot...
pulled the crap outta my drive onto an adjacent fw... id say about 180-190 with trees in the way...
i saw a pretty big opening between 2 trees that left me a clear shot at the flag... but to take it thru there id probably hit the green really hot... so i decided to go over the trees...
absolutely perfect shot 10ft under the hole...
i also reached a par5 in 2 but ended up 4 putting... so i wont talk about that one... lolz

Had a terrible round yesterday - the only thing stopping me throwing away my 7 iron afterwards was the 20 foot bump and run that got me my only birdie of the day.

    • I know you guys were discussing this like a year ago. But, ironically I just had this discussion with my brother-in-law. We literally just did one of these. I'd always used the "Slow-Cook, Rest, and Sear" Method. But my bother-in-law was convinced the "5-Min/lb, 500 degree" method was the way. So, we gave it a go. I have to say it came out great.  I have a 25 year old, electric oven, GE brand... Not sure if that matters, but it came out great. ... Of course we stressed that nobody was to open the oven.   I don't make these all that often so, I'm not sure if I can fully recommend one method or the other, because without doing a Pepsi Challenge, I'd say both ways come out great. 👍😁👍
