i've found the grip is the key to the golf swing. when i get mine right.. i'm a 5 handicap.. when i can't find it i'm an 18

its all about feel and confidence and if you dont feel good you arent gonna hit it good

it's a chicken or egg thing. if i find it early.. i'm good. if i struggle i lose feel and confidence. mid round adjustments are tough

School is in session and it’s really limiting my time for golf

 

[Country469]

Opposite here. Long as I get off before the HS golf team at like 440ish there hasnt been a soul out for us since school started

 

[hedge]

My time is limited, not the courses.

The course does host some high school cross country meets tho

 

[Country469]

The kid being in middle school now, he gets home like a full hour later than before. So I don't ever have to worry about being home after school, ma dukes takes care of that. Will be a golf boom until hunting season and the stupid ass time change.

I think I have one tournament left and a couple random rounds sprinkled in.

 

[Country469]

it was 94 yesterday, I got a sold 2 months of good weather left

 

[huzzdog]

i probably have till mid october.. the tourists are gone.. the snow birds are leaving... sucks i got bamboozled in to coaching football. i still will get tons of golf in and the rounds will be half as long.

 

[hedge]

Realistically Ill be done in early October

we are probably similar from a weather standpoint. some years i've played in november and even december. last year it snowed before halloween and never left

 

[Joker]

usually get our first snow by halloween, but i played every month of the year

 

[Country469]

I could easily play every month of the year here but I get kind of puss-ish now being gone from Chitown for 8 years

 

[hedge]

I can’t play every month here

 

[huzzdog]

not here either.. if you play in december it's an abhorration. january, february never.. march.. maybe 1 time in the last 5 years

 

[Country469]

does the ground even unthaw up there in those months? you'd ruin the course

 

[huzzdog]

depends on the year.... 4 years ago it was 70 on christmas day.. and a couple 90 degree days in march.. this year the snow came early so the the frost wasn't as deep. snow makes great insulation.. consequently, many local courses lost several greens

 

[Country469]

Yeah i understand that part of it from farming in the midwest.

Used to have to wait like a week or two to playu once the snow was gone for unthaw

 

[devo12]

Man played 18 today. I’m tired and awful. Need whole lot of practice. It’s so dumb not playing for a month takes you 10 steps back.

 

[Country469]

36 tomorrow holla back

It's going to be 102 here tomorrow. The only acceptable activities if you are outside is sitting as still as possible in front of a fan.

 

[Country469]

85 with 30% humid here, afternoon course is on the mountain tho

I picture everyone sitting on their porches with a mint julep glass in their hand and fanning themselves with their hat in the other hand

 

[Country469]

"hired help" will freshen that drink up whenever you fancy

 

[Joker]
