Will you play in the 20's?

[Doctorfro]

20's? in a word...No

[HR Golf]

Oh yeah, lower temperatures just mean I walk 9 or 18 instead of going to the range. I'm actually going today in about 3 hours, the high today is 35 degrees with a chance of snow, but I've got to get some golf in before it snows and the course is closed.

[GregFos]

Hell no, I will not play if the temperature is below 60 degrees!

[DiverDown]

I would play in the 20's as long as there is NO wind, and I truly mean NO wind.

I played in the 30's this past Saturday. SUn was out and I was layered up. i actually shot my lowest score of the year.

Sun with no breeze aint half bad.

I definitely agree with that. Yesterday was pretty windy but I shot my lowest score yet. Must be something about the cold that keeps me on my toes.

im from hawaii so you can only imagine my tolerance to cold weather... i thought san diego was cold in the winter... now that im on the east coast ill have to see how things turn out... tho i hear it rarely gets below 40's/30's here

[shortgrass lover]

yes! i can't go consecutive days without playing golf, and I don't like to miss 1 day a week. so my standards are:

- temp at or above 20
- wind less than 10mph
- no rain! (i will only play in rain if it's not below 45-50)

[mirv]

20s? no can do there, buddy. the lowest temp i'll tolerate is 40 (i'll accept a wind chill down to 37 or so).

[ryohazuki222]

now i feel like a giant wuss. I played in 50 degree weather today and thought it was cold.... then again the wind was ridiculous. The problem for me is really the hands. I have problems keeping feelin in my hands when it gets cold.

As for 20 degree golf... My lower body can handle it easy. I'd have to be able to keep my ears and hands warm. And also have to wear something that can be warm, yet movable at that temp. I'd definitely do it though. I love empty golf courses.

[flopdarock]

what kinda clothes would you have to wear to keep your swing free in 20* weather without sacrificing warmth? i have no idea cuz where ive lived i never had to worry about anything below 50*

[Dawson Machete]

No, It's in the 30's here in New York, so I had to finally give it up for the winter. It was nice having the whole course to myself for the past couple of weeks, though :)

[glebert]

Not if today is any indication. It was 25 and I was bundled up like the Pilsbury Doughboy to walk to the store. Actually the 30mph wind was the real deal breaker.

[Big_M]

Now that I live in the South I can wait for 40's... In Michigan I may have... snow was always a problem though...

[flopdarock]

it was low 40's today an i was freezing my jewels off and i couldnt even think straight let alone attempt to swing a club... maybe if it wasnt cloudy an windy i woulda been better off

[DM4UGA]

Coming from a guy who has gone scuba diving in 40* water (diving wet, mind you),

absolutely. Besides, a lot less traffic on the course when its cold out.

well I live in New Zealand and its summer so I'm out playing in flip flops and a singlet :)

[Hoovedawg]

60 is good
50 is gettin too cold
40 is way too cold
30 is crazy
20 is completly ridiculous

thats with no wind or rain--golf is supposed to be fun and i personally have no fun wearing a bunch of layers and freezing my butt off. i played in 55 and light rain the other day and i quit after 5 or 6 holes cause it was too cold and wet
