I can work things out without feeling like I need to go to the course and prove it. One of the things that frustrates golfers is taking lessons, practicing what's been taught, not seeing immediate improvement and giving up on what was taught.<br /><br />Without the opportunity to go to the golf course, I can really focus on those swing changes and give them an opportunity to be stored in the muscle memory.Zen Chilihttp://www.zenchili.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-62418291011757008312009-12-06T20:20:21.463-05:002009-12-06T20:20:21.463-05:00Hi,

We are suffering from rain and wind - not that cold yet - there has not been any heavy frosts. We are just going through this period of heavy rain and water logged courses we've become accustomed to in recent years.<br />The ground will be frozen by mid Jan I guess and we'll probably get snow but usually only a week or two. We'll pretty much carry on all year until it snows and settles. Going from waterlogged courses in Dec to a frozen course in January is always fun! You gain a 100 yards - but not necessarily bouncing in the right direction :o)<br /><br />Davedave @ Mud Ball Golf Bloghttp://mud-ball-golf-blog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-63916364391164359532009-12-06T18:48:21.673-05:002009-12-06T18:48:21.673-05:00Average: Living that far north, I imagine your gol...Average: Living that far north, I imagine your golf season could be pretty short. Winter golf is definitely possible here in the Mid Atlantic for the heartiest golfers.<br /><br />Adam: Congratulations on the progress you've made this year. Suspending play after your 84 was a smart move. You'll have positive thoughts when you return.The Armchair Golferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086916747302169325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-63614128875279645332009-12-06T09:37:48.346-05:002009-12-06T09:37:48.346-05:00I live in Michigan and I called my game quits in N...I live in Michigan and I called my game quits in November in spite of about four or five nice days between my last round and 20 degree days.<br /><br />This was my first year really caring about golf though, I got some new clubs, played in excess of 20 rounds, and did a lot of reading and practice. My first round was 123 with a friend of mine from high school that I still see occasionally when our group is all in town together (we're all in our low 20s). I steadily worked my way down to a mid-90s player.<br /><br />Until my last round of the year: 84. I decided that was the most impressive showing I would be able to post this year so I stopped there.<br /><br />I'm in the group from your survey that will be reading a lot and practicing at home lagging putts between table legs and down hallways. But I wish I could be in the group that doesn't take an offseason and can play year-round; what an advantage that would be.Adam Mingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-87097517785024889952009-12-05T22:21:36.841-05:002009-12-05T22:21:36.841-05:00Golf game kaput.
