Playing in the snow is my new favorite thing, it's awesome! It blows me away how few people are out there playing, most courses I've been playing I've had to break my own trail, granted they're relatively out of the way courses, but mostly in and around college towns, these college kids are getting lazier by the day, I know I've seen my brother and the kids that he hangs out with in college, they're all in playing video games, they wouldn't even think of going out and getting exercise. Whatever, I'll take all of the quiet natural beauty to myself, though I feel like I'm hogging it all. 40 holes of breaking trail, I'm going to be in shape by the time this winter is over, it's awesome. So far this year I've been out 13 days playing in the snow, often over 30 holes a day, can't complain a bit.
It has been great on my game, it's forcing me to do a number of things - Beginning with the lack of a runup, 10 inches of powdery snow on top of 6 of crunchy crusty snow makes for poor footing, and pretty much impossible to clear a path, so it's all from a standstill. As a result I can't get my higher speed drivers up to speed, so it has forced my hand in discing down, which is brilliant by the way. My accuracy has improved a ton, and my confidence in shaping lines is increasing. Now I'm looking forward to summer to see how much this will improve my game. For now, I'll just keep enjoying the snow rounds, Playing in an Ice Bowl tomorrow. Am looking forward to it.
