Thank the Wrath of God the weather is warming up this week! Today, made my 2nd round of golf this year with low temps and fast strong winds (38°F 20mph very cold winds). The pro shop manager questioned me, "You're going to play in this?" "Look, Chumley (Not his name), if the Army can slap me in a tent at -35° F in Fort Drum, NY., I think I got this. Besides, that's what Under Armor is made for." Since this is my 2nd round with new irons, I didn't bother with score considering I had the entire course to myself. (1st round score of 87 the weather conditions were similar to 2nd round.) I turned that course into a complete practice ensemble of every aspect of the game. (An advantage of having a country club/golf course membership provided I'm not creating slow play or interrupting other golfer's game.)By the way, I actually used Saguto's method of greenside bunker sand play. Holy crap! I got out everytime! (I was accustomed to the clubhead at 1-2:00 o'clock position, 2 inches behind ball. Aim left of target.. Dig in feet,, etc etc. Blah blah blah) The scary part is judging how much of a swing you need to play out. Who cares? It's golf! Dialed in my new hybrid. Of course, the weather would not have me reach my distance potential. I had to go up 2 clubs (wind/cold) Today, was a workout. The greens were slow and sloppy. After all, the snow just melted a week ago. If you had ever hit a frozen green, instant superball! Boing! I can only imagine what my game would be like in descent golf weather. As long as there is no snow on the ground, I'll play golf in any weather! Except...lightning. Yeah, I don't care to be a mobile lightning rod. Tom, any tips on playing in adverse golf conditions? Wet fairways/rough, rain, wind, cold, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc.
