2016 Golf Season
 
Golf season, for everyone not located in Southern California, is just around the corner. Anybody else getting excited? Who's be playing lately?



Looking forward to a break in the rain, I've replaced all of my woods and hybrids this month and haven't gotten to play the :(

Haven't gotten out but the courses opened up this weekend. Must be a record up here. I've never seen them open in early March since I've lived in MN. The course that I play my league at is offering a warm up deal to league members so I will probably try and get out this week if it stays warm.

The weather has warmed up here and I'm hoping to hit the range later this week. Put the clubs in the trunk, I'm ready for golf season to start.

I have hit the range twice and got 18 in this past weekend. Played like it was my first round of the year!

Played two rounds this last weekend. Courses in the area are open, but my home course may be a week or two away, which is probably just as well. The older I get, the less a 40* round appeals to me.

I agree with that. Going to be back around the thirties here in the Twin Cities this week. Guess I'll be waiting a little longer.

I was able to get out for a round last week. It was pretty soggy. My ball got plugged a few times both on the green and the fairway. Hopefully in a few weeks everything can dry up a little bit and be nice.

At the range the past couple of weekends (with the boy, trying to get him involved (11)) and now that the time has changed, we'll be starting the golf league. Ready. Changed spikes in all three pairs of shoes and cleaned the bag and restocked. I didn't play in January, but have at least one round in every other winter month. December was wickedly pleasant. Had two 78s last year (lowest ever) and had a 34 on a single nine, followed up with a 44 for one of those 78s. Looking for some better stuff this year.

I'm gunna try and play tomorrow. We'll see how I feel after a little range session

Re: 2016 Golf Season
 
Home course opened on Tuesday, but the rain kept me away. Been too cool to even think about it, but we might give it a shot on Saturday if the temp gets above 40*. Got 8 people lined up, but as the weather reports come in, they're starting to drop already. :)

Went yesterday. I had a good time by myself. Wasn't rushed by anybody behind me or slowed by anybody in front of me. It was disappointing to see that inspite of my new woods and hybrids I still suck lol. I finally broke down and ordered a lob wedge though, so that will certainly help. Controlling shots onto the green from a few yards with a PW is hit or miss for me.

I Use My Lob Wedge More Than Any Other Club. Bought This Last Year; It's Definitely Saving Me Some Strokes In The Sand And Around The Greens!:tu

Looks awesome. Bought a Mack Daddy 2 PM Grind 60 in December and love it.

I went out to try to get a solo round in today at 1 pm but couldn't get on the course it was so busy. I guess the good weather is bringing everyone out. Instead I got a few hours of practicing in on the range and green so probably better for my game but not as fun.

My wife gave me a set of Ping I3 irons as a wedding gift 17 years ago (great gift!), and believe it or not, I never had the clubs regripped, until now. Yesterday I picked up my irons with these:
http://d36tfnyud84bb4.cloudfront.net/d_10579.jpg

Chipped around the yard a little bit yesterday and they felt good, but the true test will come next time on the course (hopefully Saturday). Also picked up a box of last year's Bridgestone S330-S balls on sale for $30. Bridgestone's ball selector feature (https://www.bridgestonegolf.com/prod...election-guide) suggested it would be the best ball for me. We shall see!

Re: 2016 Golf Season
 
Folks are living on a golf course now so I get free golf whenever I want. That plus my new job in sales will hopefully have me on the course very often this year. However right now, it's basically a mud pit so it'll be a bit until they open up.

Re: 2016 Golf Season
 
Went out today. Cut three strokes off but that doesn't make much difference when you suck as bad as I do lol

Broke 100 for the first time. So that was neat

Went out Tuesday with one of my professors. I beat him with a 44 (9 holes) didn't hit a single fairway but my short game was on point.

Re: 2016 Golf Season
 
Hear that. I have a huge 3 putt issue. Yesterday I only 3 put on four holes which is good for me, but that's four more strokes I could drop

WhiteMamba 04-02-2016 12:13 PM

Re: 2016 Golf Season
 
I've started using the new left hand down grip like spieth and Rory. It's worked pretty good for me.

Im still afraid to go to the golf course this year. I have been to the driving range about 3 of 4 times so far this spring and the GC is in my very near future.

Mike we're gonna have to meet up and play some time.

Shot a 94 at Mount Shasta two days ago. It's fun to see how much I'm improving this year as I take it a little more seriously.

Do any of you guys use app to track your scores? I've tried several (Diablo, the grint, golf logix, etc...) but I've kind of settled on the grint as my favorite.

Yes, but do you have a six putt issue? http://espn.go.com/golf/masters16/st...d-nine-masters

If you haven't tried "swing by swing" check it out. It's my favorite

I bought the R15 last year towards the end of the season here in Utah... and so far I like it a lot! I'm real interested in the Taylormade M2 now. Anyone try it yet?

Finally got out to the range twice this week. The first trip was a little scary to say the least. Yesterday felt better.

Re: 2016 Golf Season
 
Played 18 yesterday and shot a 94. The greens has been aerated which made putting unpredictable, but it we got in 18 in under 4 hours. :D

Well, at least we had fun :)

The windmill gets me every time, but like you said at least it's fun!

I've only played once this year. I'm going to play three times this week. Feast or famine.

Here in South Florida it's pretty much golf season all year, but the prime season is actually just ending. I've been playing a lot the last few weeks though because it's prefect right now before the weather gets too hot for summer. I plan on playing the next two days as well!

First night of golf league tonight! Pumped! Going to be 70 and sunny as well. I'm bringing out a Oliva V Melanio maduro for the occasion! Going to be a great night!

I played for the first time this year during the past weekend here in Upstate NY. Course was in OK shape, but needs time to grow in. Was pleased with my 84 though!

Shot a 45 on the front and then the rain came. I'll take a 45 seeing as today was the first time I've touched a club since last year. Putting was the best part of my game today. The irons were not. Had a Camacho Blackout during the round also. Love those cigars.
