I'm ok, my wife's golf clothing has overflowed to another bedroom, so I have carte blanche to buy whatever!
Agreed, it's a pain in the bum, if you want to check just how old that ProV1 that you've just found actually is though;

If I remember rightly they changed the formulation of the core, the inner cover and the cover itself.
I think they even tweaked the dimple pattern.
If that's not a new ball I don't know what is....thats what they tell us...

I read that and nearly split my sides laughing. The average club/pay and play golfer isn't going to notice any difference year on year. It's as bad as let's change the colour of the driver from black to white (and back to black again). Still, it obviously works with the number of golfers being taken in.
This bloody weather..
Not that the cold bothers me, it's that ground is becoming frozen which makes playing a waste of time..
The Greens freeze so you can't stop a ball and the fairways and approaches thaw and stop the ball on a dime..
You can't pitch up to the pin and you can't roll it up...
Coupled with the thought of any damage done to the turf.
Since I "retired" at the beginning of November I've played less golf than I did in the whole of October.....
That wasn't the plan

Rain forecast for todays round and I forgot my rain jacket when I left the house today... So annoying...luckily I didn't need it as the temp stayed around 30
No rain here but still 30°......F
Supposed to play the winter comp at Nairn Dunbar this morning. Got a load of emails at 8am from the others all wanting to.pull out as it was raining hard in Nairn. So we all cancelled only for it to clear up by 9.30 and be sunny the rest of the day ☹️?
Had our Gents Christmas comp & lunch today (texas scramble). Course heavily frosted so 18 temp greens but (but still better than many a real green I've played on). Golf was a bit of a lottery with ludicrous bounces etc but it was an absolutely glorious day weather-wise and the company was good so we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Came in with a gross par for every hole - pretty good considering the vagaries of the frosted putting surfaces. A gross even par score won it - cos they had a very high handicapper giving them a rather better handicap. But who cares - it was our fun day out ....

Maybe it's because I did the playing in all weather bit back in the 90's........
Certainly for the last 10-15 years I've not been one for playing in frozen conditions just for the want of playing...
Just doesn't float my boat anymore....
