Guys it was a great way to end the work week and the first time this year I played golf. the weather was a balmy
45f/7c and a wind chill of 41f/5c. blasted the ball driving, hit long and short irons very well accuracy needs improvement, but the putting was fair and on the last hole, a par five, 18 inchs from the cup for par I stroked it the ball went toward the hole and all I can say is *&^%$%***&895:D

it's why I play golf:thumbsup:

get out there while you can! The way the weather has been in the midwest the past few weeks my Spring Break getaway isn't looking too promising at this point. They were talking about some big accident in KC due to icy roads or something like that. I sure as heck ain't driving to Texas to play golf, heck they even got 5" of snow the other day. Hey Luke, turn up the heat down there and send it towards America would you? Thanks Mate!

PS I see banned under that Cajun fella's screen name, what for?

I'll try and turn it up for you Buck. Maybe you should all turn your heaters on and open all the doors and windows that might work.....

As for Cajun he is banned from me hitting the wrong button and I'm trying to fix it but I cant get access tothe adim log on atm.... So he should be back soon. My bad.

I did play today and what lovely weather. it was a great 38f with a fine drizzle. I blasted a great drive off the first tee then I had trouble, if it wasn't for the wedge and putter I should of picked up and gone home. The first three holes I looked like a first timer at a Geelong divot sniffing contest. I did have a good day...really :D
 
#42 ·
Divot sniffing contest now thats a new one..... Glad to hear you got out for a round that ball would of been a rock once you got started. I'm heading out friday, my exam will be done and I'm on afternoon shift so a happy day of golf to be had. I think it's meant to be a nice 26c(79f) as well!

Yes I was trying to delete a spammer that posted in one of his thread with spam killer and I hit the button and now I think that when you hit that button it bans the person that created that thread..... Now I cant get access to the admin controls to restore him gggrrrrrrrrrrr. I have messaged him and told him what happened though so he'll be back!

I'm back! :headbang:

I'm with you guys on this weather thing. I joined our local course Friday, played 9 holes and the snow started. My wife and I had hoped to get in a round yesterday then another today, since it was a holiday for us, but that "best laid plans" thing reared it's ugly head. I did clean my clubs today though....that was as close to golf as we could get. :(

I read on the internet yesterday that Saturday, 49 of the 50 states had snow on the ground. Hawaii was the only state that didn't have any snow. CRAZY!

One thing I did notice is that I was using more upper body on the drives pushing left. once I settled down and just swung at the ball, not swang:D, I started hitting straighter

that will do it Bob remember it's all in the hips, it's all in the hips. So don't fall over and break one my friend!:cheeky4:

It funny a place that get voted one of the best ski/snow places every year has the winter games and they are trucking in snow. Whats next are they going to truck in snow from Texas?
 
#55 ·
Yes I saw that on the news over here and there was some big pile up on one of the highways cant remember where now?????

I'm from the DEEP south, I don't get on the road at all when it's icy. I consider myself a good driver, but I just don't have the experience in that sort of situation to feel comfortable.
 
#59 ·
On ice its my experience get off the road park it and take a cab, snow just slow down and keep a distance 4 wheel drive just helps to get you moving not stopping
 
#60 ·
I have minimal snow experienice but we have a low friction surface at work and driving on that is like being on a ice ring. I think I'd go with feet up in front of a fire watch some tv, reading a book, playing cards anything but driving.

Well, I didn't play today, but I did play yesterday and boy did I stink up the place. It was cold, about 40*, when I started and the range was closed so I had to try and warm up my back before the first tee with a bunch of practice swings. I duck hooked my first drive and that sort of set the tone. I was spraying shots in every direction and three putted every green but one and I four putted it. :dunno: I bet I back slide 15 strokes yesterday. I stopped keeping score on hole 4 and forced myself to play on through 18 as a practice round, but honestly I was never more happy to see an 18th green. I'm not sure if it was the weather or what, but I'm looking forward to redeaming myself this weekend. I have a tee time Saturday (with my wife), and my wife is out of town next week, so I'm going to try and get in a bunch of rounds and get things back to where they were. This funky weather we're having is really messing with my "come back". :D

I had a round a bit like that today Cajun. I think I was just going from the rough on one side of the fairway to the other, my short game sucked big time too, but my putting wasn't to bad I 2 putted most holes with as couple of one putts to about the only thing that saved me today but it was still a bad round but I made it out there for one at least. I twas like 34C today so I'm not sure I can blame the weather it was to hot if anything.
 
#67 ·
well I can certainly blame the weather. Had to cut up another couple cords of wood yesterday, we have at least 18 inches of snow.

Cajun, where are you located? My buddy and I want to drive south to the first golf course we come to over my spring break. Just wondering how far we'd have to go.

Well I played again today. I was putting and driving much better and I played better around the green, but still not loving my approach game. I'm spraying my mid irons, when I get a good hit, but most of my shots I hit really thin or even skulled...the trouble is I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The shots felt good, but i couldn't hit my irons worth a flip today...oh well, I have another tee tomorrow, hopefully I'll get everything working at one time.
 
#71 ·
I'm an expert at screwing up a shot, but I'm going to suggest you focus on your stance. the long iron on the left foot then as the shot gets shorter you're moving forward of the ball. what do you think?
 
#73 ·
I wont say this to loudly but I agree with Bob for the long irons I play the ball juat to the inside of my left foot and get slightly close as the irons get shorter but I even playing my pitching just off center to my stance ny other suggestion may it be time for some lesson so a pro can pick your game to bits and fix you up.
 
#74 ·
Yeah, I am planning on some lessons once I get back to work. There are just too many other place the money coming in has to go at the moment. I'm lucky, since we're members at the course where we play, that we don't have green fees or I wouldn't be playing nearly as much as I am.

Nearly noon... Time to grab some cereal and head to the course to warm up... warm being the operative word.

Today is around 80 and the warmer it is, the better I feel on the course. Considering how bundled up I've had to be to stay warm recently, today is going to be a joy.

Results later...
