How hard can it be? I'm in Milwaukee and we still have a lot of open courses. It was 21 degrees yesterday and I don't golf when it's like that but it's 38 now and if someone calls, I would probably go.

Kentucky is more than capable of getting crazy windy. (I lived there for 2 years and made frequent trips to Paducah while I was in Missouri)
I play in the summers. Certainly not great by any stretch (and incredibly inconsistent), but I can generally hold me own.
I play Callaway X20 tour irons, beat up Dunlop graphite woods from about 10 years ago (I hit 'em well, so why upgrade?), and a craptacular blade putter my old man gave me forever ago.

Love golf. I played JPGA for about 7 years as a child, took a big break and have now been playing for about a year. No where as good as I use to be but its still just as fun. I really enjoy playing Short Bag; 7, wedge, a putter and set the par 5s to 6. Its a slow game but very relaxing. Helps you focus on every swing. Otherwise we just grab a sandwich, some Lone Star and play 36.
New "golfer" here. I started going to the driving range about a year ago because I like to hit stuff and my bum shoulder won't let me swing a bat anymore. Took a few lessons and found that for an old beginner I'm not too horrible. Played my first 9 holes last summer and wasn't terribly embarrassed. Played my first 18 holes later in the summer and was awful. 
All in all, I like the range. I can putt, I can chip, and I can hit stuff....

I wouldn't call myself a golfer but I own clubs and shank some balls from time to time.
I'm actually so bad that I don't actually count strokes... I count balls that I lose in a round.
I'm under a dozen!

If any of you are golfing this time of year. $@%$# you all.
That is all.
All I've got right now are driving ranges, since every course around me has been a swamp for the past week.
Just found this thread. Hell yeah, I love golf. I am playing tomorrow before the SB (forecast is low 40's and calls for slices, shanks and beers afterwards). I play all year long as Mother Nature dictates. This year has been awesome; I played a bunch in January and 2 days ago (9 holes). I am a 10.7 handicap
Fortunately I am leaving in a week for Curacao and Miami and playing golf in the Caribbean. Life does not suck for this hack!

Oh gear:
Taylor Made Tour Burner 9 degree, Burner 3 wood and Rescue
Taylor Made RAC Irons, TM Daytona Putter (I putt lefty and swing right handed). Wedges Cleveland. * Who the hell cares what I use?

I'm in. I suck. ...but I'm in. . I went to the range last week for the first time in about 2 1/2 years. Good news is.....I haven't lost much. Lol.

Just saw this thread. Used to be a total golf nut, had a 7 hdcp at one point. Still play with clients a few times a year, but that's it.
Temps hit 60 today on Cape Cod. Will be playing golf this Saturday, hope I don't suck as much as I think I will...
I've got an 11:00 am tee time on Sunday... playing before spring, our weather's just been that good. Can't wait to get out there!
I used to play 3 days a week in the 80's & 90's. Best I ever shot was a 79 and hovered in the low 80s consistently. Then I got a real job and all that ended. For the past 10 years I've managed to play 2-3 times a year. It sucks not having the time to play more often but I enjoy every minute of being out there whacking away at the little white ball. I'm still hitting in the low 90s though, which I'm happy with.
Best score so far is an 87. Though lately I'm lucky to break 95. My swing is jacked up. I need a lesson. I book tee time and dread it.
