congratulations on your retirement, enjoy it

I wish I were in a climate that I could say my golf was getting worse. Have'nt been out since early December, snow covered courses here in Moncton, New Brunswick. Not near as much snow this year though, normally I'd be looking over a 5 foot embankment in front of the house by now. Am really praying for an early spring, have been doing a lot of reading "Fearless Golf" and David Leadbetter's "Positive Practice", want to see if I can implement anything I've been reading. Envy you guys.....

I have to admit I admire those of you with the fortitude to play in what I would consider bad weather and I particularly admire those who study the game when they can't play. When I lived up north, if I read golf books or watched golf movies when I couldn't play, it just aggrivated me more.

The closest thing to effort I've done on my own, not counting some recent lessons, was to buy a heavy club and a Swing-Stik

The heavy club is to stretch with if I can't get to the course early enough to hit balls and the Swing-Stik is nothing but a grip on a pole with a swing speed meter in it, but there's a cd telling you how to turn its use into a whole golf oriented exercise program. I'm kind of getting into it because I can take it into the back yard for 5 minutes at a time 4-5 times a day and stretch with it.

In the meantime, my diet is doing reasonably well, but my coworkers always want to eat pizza. I may just kill them all!

Admittedly, after a few years of not playing at all, I have the bug again in the worst way and can't stand to play poorly. I just HAVE to get my game back and I'll do what it takes.

I played 18 this morning Yes sir, January 6, Southwest Ontario and we had to wait to tee off this morning at 9:00. Two groups ahead of us By time we made the turn the parking lot was full, the course was full. The rain was coming down hard for 3 holes, I thought I was playing golf at The Old Course
Normally I would be shovelling snow at this time of year!

This has been a great winter for us in the northeast part of North America for sure... I've got a tee time this Friday at my local course - so I'm going rain, snow or shine!

I still havent been out on the course this year, mainly been at the driving range trying to get used to the new clubs, will hopefully be out soon tho although the weather at the moment (winds at 70mph, flooding..) is not going to help me get out and play

The weather here has been going up and down like a working girls drawers on payday. We get some snow, then two days of +10, just enough to start the melt, then another layer of snow. Driving us die hards crazy. Been out regularily to the dome, but thats just frustrating. I may send golf4eva a truck load of snow and drop it on his first tee (jealousy), imagine getting in so much golf you've got to take a couple days off to rest.....theres just no justice.....
