I'm not sure which is worse...not being able to play because of winter weather, or having beautiful weather (which we have) and being so bleeping busy that you can't play anyway.

You can probably guess my situation.

It was 65 Sunday but couldn’t play due to putting up Christmas decorations. And now 2 days later it was 29 and snowing all day. Haven’t played since the weekend before Halloween . Starting to get the itch.

FYI if you're headed west Thunderbird Golf Range in Huron has heated bays (no extra charge). They are open through the winter but he said the north/northwesterlies make it cold (range faces north). Bucket is under $10.

I was thinking about getting my tour card to be a teacher but he is pushing me towards tours and wants to chat. I honestly don’t think my game is good enough. Idk.

If the golf course isn't frozen, I'll play it. Actually, we played our annual TFT coaches Ryder Cup on frozen greens last year. Never saw a ball bounce that high before.

My youngest daughter didn't play basketball this year, so we'll be in the simulator all winter, but we'll sneak out onto the course if it's warm enough for her.

I actually played in the snow twice now. First time I thought I hit the ball in the water yet the ice saved me. Did a bump and run off the ice and one putted for par

At least four more months of unplayable winter here. My son and I normally play 18 holes of OptiShot each Saturday. It regularly gives me terrible results, but it likes him. In fairness, his swing is better than mine.

My response to golf, or rather the lack of it, during the winter months utilizes two factors.   One is the understanding that I am somewhat fortunate and the other may be labelled perhaps as philosophical.  I am fortunate because I live close to and play mostly on the Eastern Shore.  Quite often the temperature in Ocean City can be 10 degrees warmer than on the mainland, so it is no problem for my buds and I to take a day trip if we monitor the weather, plus my brother lives in Ocean City.  Accordingly, I get the occasional opportunity to play during the winter months.   Additionally, my age is helpful, I have some retired friends that snowbird in Florida and California, so I typically get an invitation to visit.  

On the philosophical level, just as the weather is seasonal, I perceive my golf to be seasonal in response.   Just as I perceive the Spring to be a renewal of nature, it likewise is a renewal of my golf game.  As in other seasonal sports, just as an individual or team had a bad prior season, they anticipate the coming season with renewed optimism, I do the same regarding my game in the coming season.   While "in season" is when I train by body to improve, the "off season" is when I train my brain for the coming season.  I visualize my swing, what I will do this season as opposed to last.   My brain is telling my body how in will now respond in the coming year.   Whether my body will respond is to be determined, but at least it has been instructed.

 

Very interesting reply Wahoo. I enjoyed reading it . That's a great way of analyzing the situation at hand 

Thanks for that.

I concur. Haven't played in a month due to weather and work and family stuff. I even joined a gym thru work.
I'm hoping for a mild dry winter so we can play more this winter.

A week ago, we got 10"+ of snow. Over the past day or so we've gotten a couple inches of rain... Which has melted much of the snow, but has left everything a wet mess. Now tonight it's supposed to change back to snow this evening and make everything white again.

 

I'm keeping my sanity by chipping/putting on my birdieball green and practicing with my Smartball. Hoping it'll get me ready for the new season.

 

A big positive it's that I'll be in Arizona and Florida for about 8 days each over the next month and a half. I'll certainly be getting rounds in...

I walk passed my clubs twice a day.  First time I’ve ever left them in the garage.  Just sitting there... haven’t picked one up other than to move it away from the snow shovel in over a month.  It’s like seeing pictures of the beaches in the Caribbean.  Good news is, there’s only 6 months of this crap left.
