Can you golf all year round where you live?

Ever heard of, "snow golf"? Just because there is winter where you live, thats no reason not to play.

yes, its played around here occasionally. There are a few courses near me that are open all year round. Temps near zero degrees require a lot of clothing and it can be tough to swing

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and we are blessed with relatively mild weather. I golf 12 months a year and sometimes in the rain.

There is one course locally that have carts with "canopies" to block the wind and they also will rent out these mini kerosene heaters to keep inside of your cart. At least they used to. I could see that possibly going bad depending on how much drinking is going on!

I've played in January and February, with 20's temps. Not completely horrible. If you stayed in the cart, you were fine. Keep it in the fairway!!!

Too much clothing required though. I don't like swinging clubs with 2 or more layers on my upper body. Just doesn't work for me.

I live in Wisconsin, so I only have about 5 good months of golf throughout the year. I often wonder how good my game would be if I didn't have the layoff. How do you stay sharp if you can't golf year round where you live?

I'm fortunate that I can golf year-round here, however, I don't always do so.

I like to hunt in Oct-Dec too much. June, July and August....you'd better make a very early tee time or late afternoon.....forgetaboutit during the midday hours....it's sweltering....after warming up on the range and putting green you'll be sapped after nine holes...and that's if you ride!!!!

Living in the north island of New Zealand - Auckland and the Bay of Islands - we can golf all year round. Winter is short (June-Aug) but we can still play as long it's not raining!

Canada, 6 months of golf weather, in october its soo hard to see your ball on the ground with the leaves all over.

I'm an aussie so I can play every day of the year.

My biggest decision on a miserable winter day is having to decide whether or not I can still wear shorts or if I need the long pants!

I'm actually hoping to study abroad at the University of Auckland next year. How is the golf out there? The only course I know of is Cape Kidnappers, which looks absolutely amazing and I really hope to play at while there, but is like 6 hours away (and not to mention very expensive).

I'll play all year as long as their is no snow on the ground. I'm one of the few crazies that does so in NY.
