I only have about 12 left. Sold MANY putters 5-7 years ago. Kept a few favorites. Love putters.

Don’t tempt me! I just got a gift card to the golf store and I’m trying to be smart with it.

Looking good. Relatively flat tracks by u? How’s the slope on the greens?

Florida not many hills. Difficulty is water hazards, traps/bunkers and some nasty greens.
Lots of water....

Yes but don't wear them or a gator belt on the course.....but then on the other hand they may think you mean business.and will stay away............. Hmmmmm probably not.

Fried Gator Tail Tots with Ranch Dressing.....

You’d be surprised how many people will go near the water looking for balls and not paying attention to Gators and even worse the Cottonmouths.

Not being used to Fl Golf I hope I remember that next time I’m there. Hate to find out the hard way.
I would play mine off the edge of a pond without thinking twice lol.

‘U wanna hit it to the Left of the 2nd tree from the right’ he said. Just shook my head. Said it that way because I’m a Lefty :)

So this might be my last update with pictures from the course this season.. Getting dark around 4pm and it´s around 40 degrees outside .. Anyway, yesterday evening we had a "night golf" event at my course it was pitch black with a light stick in the ground at the tee, one hanging in the flag and one in the hole. So good thing to know the course well since bunkers, ponds, trees etc. was invisible from tee..

The rules were that no flashlight was allowed when making a shot, only while transporting yourself to the ball. It was a lot harder then I would imagine.. to get the club to hit the ball well without seeing much was really hard the first few holes, also since it was a led ball (that lights up for 8 min when struck) the ball was hard as a rock and I had to club up at least one club. I adjusted to this by hole 3 but the hardest part was putting without being able to read the greens.. Anyway a very fun event! We were 30 players and we were 3 players coming in at the same net strokes in the end splitting the W

Don't let the cold weather and darkness put you off. Lot's of golf stuff you can indoors, like putting practice, etc.

I have always wanted to try that!

We did it once and it’s a lot of fun. We’re not inclined to do it again.

My boss's club did it last year, but it was in the mid 30's when they had theirs...I'm not sure I can swing a golf club dressed up like the michelin man.  So my wait continues.  In the mean time there is an awesome par 3 course with stadium lights an hour from me.  That's a blast to play at night!

There’s 2 Exec’s here that don’t have any houses on them so night golf works well. It’s kind of a “hit and giggle” followed by dinner.
Everyone does it at least once.

Don´t worry, I will be here lurking commenting be part of the fun all winter  What I meant was that that was probably my last round on the course for the season, will still be putting in some time at a local range that has lights and heaters all winter long. We have an indoor practice area at my club as well, fitted with putting areas, chipping areas and some spots to shoot in to a net. I will also stand in front of the tv and putting on my puttout. I also plan to put in more time at the gym to build some strength and work on my flexibility. All in all, I will do my best to have a great start at next season and my goal for next year will be to get into single digit handicap. Will be interesting to see how the new world handicap system will make that easier or harder.. But I will get into the singles somehow

This Lefty still going strong!

[tony@CIC]

I think this lefty is done for the season. No snow yet but cold temps and wind = wind chill in low 30's and high 20's.
