My last round on the course was December 5. The weather stayed cold for a week and the course closed. Luckily it snowed a couple of days later, so now I can shovel off the driveway every few days until early March! I sorted out all the balls I found in November and December and called friends to see which brands or models they would play. They are now in whatever containers I could find in the recycle bin before trash day. I'll be like Santa delivering them to their new owners at the saloon tomorrow night! After the first of the year I hope to get into the air supported dome to swing the clubs a couple times a week until the snow goes away.

I may regret this, but I signed up for the Golftec "Gold" holiday package. I'll get and evaluation of my swing, 3 lessons plus 3 practice sessions in their computerized bays, and since I don't need a club fitting this will be all for 300 bucks. I wanted to do something this winter since, as I wrote on a couple of other threads, I've recently discovered I have a casting issue and my ability to go outside to practice will be limited until spring. I've read reports/reviews from other Golftec customers, both good and bad, so I'm going in with this with my eyes open. I'll just have to see how it goes.

My plan for the winter is a simple one. Just get to the range on an approximately weekly basis. Last year I didn't go all winter and when the weather finally came around it felt like it took a couple months to just refamiliarize myself with where I was when the previous golf season ended. So, my hope this year is to simply not regress.

    • I’m thinking maybe Jason Day read my post. He’s sitting a -3 two off Rory and Burns.
    • Is it only the weekend broadcasts that have a low commercial count?  I feel like it has been a long while since I last watched a Thursday of the Masters, so maybe my recollection is off.  I feel today has a lot more than four minutes per hour of commercials, and far fewer of the fun stories they tell during the Sunday broadcast. 
    • I mean, I do slide my hips like 7 inches towards the target before impact. PGA Tour average is like 3 inches. I’m not Scottie Scheffler who can get away with it. 🤣 He slides a ton.  For me, I have to feel like I basically just turn. Though, I’m probably over exaggerating a bit with that one video because I’m really trying to push off with the left leg which sends the hip backwards. Ideally, I would be able to get my weight over to the outside of my left foot at impact and into the finish. It’s probably OK that I can slide about 7 inches as long as it’s like only three by impact.
    • Day 32 (9 Apr 26) - Grandson is on spring break- puts in to play 9 at our home course.  Used it to work on top of horizon target point for drives and approaches…i.e. pick landing zone (fairway, green) , an intermediate target point and finally what standout feature do I want to hit “over” on the horizon (tall pine, home top, flag pole).    Better l-r dispersion w/5 of 7 drives in the short grass.  Nice little addition to the pre-shot routine. 
    • I managed to get the full afternoon to watch (Pacific time, so the ESPN broadcast began at noon).  I just saw the first shot I feel like commenting on:  Adam Scott's tee shot on #16 was really good, especially after having what might be the worst kind of Maltese Falcon on #15.    I didn't used to like him, but the past few years he's grown on me quite a bit.
