Too cold to play today

OK, I know its about 5 degrees above zero and a true die-hard golfer might attempt a round today, however, you might actually die hard trying. Lets ignore the fact that when you hit a frozen golf ball it hurts like Heck! Even with the thickest, warmest gloves you can find, and let's remember thick gloves affect "Feel" on chips and putts, it still feels like you have shattered all the bones in your hands upon contact with the ball. If that's not bad enough, consider your footwear, heavy felt insulated pac boots just don't have the traction needed for shifting weight from one side to another. Clothing however has come a long way from the days that men (even Pros) wore women's pantie-hose on the links. Oh yes they did, some still do, but that is another blog. Underwear is now thin, light and warm. Outerwear is the same way. There are even portable heaters for the golf cart. Yea!

What about the elements? Cold, wind chill, hypothermia. Hmmm. Yea your right.

TG 2010 on the Wii is sounding pretty good right about now.
I am a middle-aged golfer that loves the game. I take lessons, practice, practice, travel to far away places and play whenever possible. Follow me as my friends and I golf in Colorado and other locales throughout the year. Read about hints and tips from our favorite PGA and LPGA pros at our home course, Indian Peaks in Lafayette, Co. and others around the state and country.
