Dodge Ridge is the ski resort. In drought years, because it is lower on the mountain than the Tahoe resorts, the snow pack may not be that good, but in average years it's a nice little spot and a little more laid back than Tahoe. It's also closer than most of the Tahoe Resorts, at about a three hour drive from SF and generally not as impacted by weekend ski traffic.

I know plenty of people who go to Utah every year to ski. It's a short flight from here--some say it's quicker than getting to Tahoe. Jackson Hole is a slightly fancier destination for some. And Many also head to Whistler in British Columbia--similar to Utah as far as distance/time. All of those people dedicate more money to skiing/snowboarding than I would, but if that's your thing...

So I bought a nice road bike. It's a nice carbon job that someone bought two years ago and sat in his basement the whole time.

It's quite an adjustment going from a flat-bar hybrid to a drop-bar roadie. Everything is arranged and powered differently. Upside is that I think my phone weighs more than the bike does. I'll have to chat with @SFBadger96 more about such matters.

My advice on the road bike is: just ride. You will have to get used to being leaned over more. The only way to get used to it is by doing it. If you are able, put the handlebars as high as you can get them. Most modern road bikes are too aero for most riders. They are in a racing position, and chances are you aren't racing. And even if you are, you're no pro, you're a casual rider who wants the exercise and a great way to see your surroundings. So move the handlebars higher, if possible. Other than that, have fun. Light bikes are nice, particularly when climbing.

new grips, new putters, blades, mallets, center shafted, different faces, milled and inserts, 

different techniques,  claw grip, left hand low,  look at the ball, look at the cup, look at your thumb, watch the putter go back, ball in different positions in your stance

different lines, firm and to the center, die it into the cup from the pro side

I've tried everything but long putters and swinging left handed 

I stay in tip top shape during golf season - end of March to beginning of November - by riding in the cart and curling 12 oz cans of Bud Heavy

and I swing plenty - core exercise and flexibility 

Golf season is January-December down here.

Although you probably ought to switch to Bud Light instead of Bud Heavy in July and August, to make sure you stay hydrated.
