Oh I definitely dont. In fact, I hardly play at all once football season starts & already know I'm going to be miserable due to a low of 28 degrees that day.


Courses are open year round here, but my threshold is 50 degs. layered up, sunny day, that's an enjoyable round, and we get 10 to 15 days like that in Jan/Feb. If I catch 1 or 2, I'm happy.

Start time for tough day moved back to 11:30 so it isn't actually freezing. No Steelers game till 4:30 & Red Zone on my phone makes me happy with the change

That is a huge fish. Salmon?

Yup.

Generally HATE to play in cold weather. We're getting pretty close to all done here in New England.

Prolly hit the Simulator a couple of times this winter. The sloth in me, enjoys the Sims....buffalo wings, pitchers of beer, and TV, while golfing?? Good times.

I play through the winter, long as the ground ain't snow-covered or too soggy. Most courses closed, but a couple stay open for diehards. So I try to get out at least a couple times a month, and I don't mind playing when it's in the 40s...feels like crap now, but not so bad later.

My ONLY eagle was in early March, before the first leaves appeared.

LOL...playing here in the winter would be closer to hockey than golf.


It is not an option here:lol:

Jesus....played in a beanie and two layers today....a balmy 45 degrees, but calm. Started out great but shit my pants late.....the excessive booze and pot prolly didn't help......but I think the giant piece of pot chocolate really fucked me. Shit kicked in on like 6...and I was toast from there. :happy:

I played today at 9:30. It was in the 50's and then on the back it got in high 60's. Great weather!

Shot an 83. And I was kinda slicing my drives, also missed some easy par putts. I hate those greens never can read em

Ha ha! I hope you had your own cart so your partner didn't have to smell your shitty pants.

81 degrees here in Southern AZ today. Beautiful day, great plaing partners but shot a frickin 76 though. A Triple on number 13 cost me and everyone in the group won money from me today.

Stroke avg on this short par 4 was 5.09.. Made bogey and it felt like a par. You couldn't hold a ball on these greens at 14..

Didn't say that right... The greens were soft & held but the ball wouldn't stop once rolling near some of hole locations. Another pic of that same hole location, this isn't my group but the only way to stop it near the hole here was to hit it into the fringe on the top of the mound.
