ole gray Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 The golf season ends? I like them golf shoes dude and what is that white stuff ya playing in? My season is like the energizer bunny...... It keeps on going unless, I fall and bust my arse and have to lay up for a while drinking cold beer and muscle relaxers. jk but not really. Anyways we play pretty much year round here in Georgia except for a few days in January & February where it gets cold enough to freeze well diggers arse. Other than that, we're good all year.

PMookie Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Wonder if any of you guys listen to PGA network on satellite radio, a few days ago the Katrek & Maginnes on tap show talk about exactly this and the reason why there are active and inactive seasons in certain states. They claimed the USGA declares inactive season (November-April) states such as NJ as easier because the ground is harder and ball rolls out more in fairways, no leaves on trees so more likely for balls to pass through as well as some other reasons that did not make much sense to me and that I forgot. They also stated the importance of if you do play a round in an inactive state that you are not permitted to then post your scores at the beginning of the season, they also stated that if for example myself who lives in NJ which is now inactive for posting takes a trip to an active state for example such as Florida I am then permitted to post that score. Honestly I have always kept my scores throughout the winter and posted at the beginning of the season, to me some winters are tougher than others, playing with extra layers/ winter gloves/ hats and dealing with usually more wind always seems harder to me and my scores usually reflect that. But from now on I will only be posting my scores from active states during my inactive season. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy This is just ridiculous. Pros play courses that yield 390 yard drives from hard/downhill fairways, no trees, etc. Give me a break. Post your scores. The dumbest part of all of this is the GOLFER who posts a low handicap is the only one hurt by actually having to use it in a tournament. You're really a 9, but you have a 7 from winter golf, you get in a tourney and you have to play to that 7.... Whom is hurt by that? The USGA?!?! No, the golfer is!Good gracious. Come on, PGA/USGA, grow the game and quit worrying about a guy posting when there aren't leaves, or they play by themselves. "Much ado about NOTHING."

DaveP043 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Good gracious. Come on, PGA/USGA, grow the game and quit worrying about a guy posting when there aren't leaves, or they play by themselves. "Much ado about NOTHING." I'm not sure what the handicap posting season has to do with growing the game. Perhaps it might be a good idea to start a thread about the desirability of having an "off-season" for handicap posting over in the Rules section.. The active season is NOT determined by the USGA, but rather by your local state (or smaller subdivision) golf association. And at least for me, the last day of my golf season has nothing to do with whether I can post that score or not. But to the original question, my season is coming to an end. I spend next week in Pinehurst, and will play 6 or 8 rounds, then pretty much put the clubs in the closet until spring. If we get a nice day I may go out for a casual round with buddies, but that's more social than serious. When the days start to warm up in late February or March, I'll be ready to go back at the game seriously.
